Also, as commented previously, the prefix in the subject does not match
existing norms. Take a look at
git log --oneline drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_dmem.c
and note how it's commonly something along the lines of "drm/nouveau" or
better "drm/nouveau/dmem".
The only patch that uses "gpu/drm/nouveau" is from you recently. In
fact, there is no other patch in the codebase that uses that prefix.
