Thanks, trinity can indeed set the in/out bits randomly, in a way that
does not match the driver ioctl definition.

Your patch almost fixes this. For the driver ioctls we will want to
grab the cmd from cmd_drv. So the patch should be:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c
index 25f91cd..5210f33 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c
@@ -408,6 +408,7 @@ long drm_ioctl(struct file *filp,
                usize = asize = _IOC_SIZE(cmd);
                if (drv_size > asize)
                        asize = drv_size;
+               cmd = ioctl->cmd_drv;
        }
        else if ((nr >= DRM_COMMAND_END) || (nr < DRM_COMMAND_BASE)) {
                ioctl = &drm_ioctls[nr];

Can you please submit this officially?
