The patch for commit 6a2d2ddf2c34 ("drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter
to the DRM subsystem") was generated with config 'diff.noprefix true'.

But later was applied using 'cat nomodeset.mbox | dim apply-branch' on a
machine with 'diff.noprefix false'. And command 'git am --scissors -3' as
used by the dim tool doesn't handle that case well, since the 3-way merge
wrongly resolves the path for new file drivers/gpu/drm/drm_nomodeset.c as
gpu/drm/drm_nomodeset.c instead.

It led to the following build error as reported by the kernel test robot:

  make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'drivers/gpu/drm/drm_nomodeset.o', needed by 'drivers/gpu/drm/built-in.a'.

Fixes: 6a2d2ddf2c34 ("drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter to the DRM subsystem")
Reported-by: kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;
