The trailer must be added by replying to the series containing the patches, i.e.
see the "Reply instructions" at the bottom of:

This should also go with the reply above.

Any submitted patches must be based on a recent enough upstream branch or tag -
in this case either v7.1-rc2 [1], next-20260507 [2] or drm-misc-next [3].
