I really prefer if you submit this together with the DRM series.

We don't apply API changes at media, except if the API change is
needed by some driver that it is also submitted in the same series.

I don't mind applying it via media, but in this case, I'll apply
together with the remaining DRM drivers, and will require DRM
maintainer's ack. So, it is probably easier to just apply this 
change via the DRM subtree than the reverse.
