I'm not sure I understand in what circumstances you would want to give 
the job more time to complete. Could you expand on that?

One thing we're missing at the moment in Panfrost is the ability to 
suspend ("soft stop" is the Mali jargon) a job and pick something else 
to run. The propitiatory driver stack uses this to avoid timing out long 
running jobs while still allowing other processes to have time on the 
GPU. But this interface as it stands doesn't seem to provide that.

As the kernel test robot has already pointed out - you'll need to at the 
very least update the other uses of this interface.
