There have been some confusion about the DRM development processes around the mxsfb already in the past.

I guess in general it would be quite clear: Marek as maintainer of mxsfb should pick up the patches and send a pull request to the next level of maintainer, which in DRM case would be David Airlie:

drm-misc seems to make sense. I volunteer to be listed as reviewer or co-maintainer.

I am actually maintainer for the DCU driver (another display controller IP used in NXP products). I should probably move that to drm-misc too...
