[PATCH v4 00/21] Move all drivers to a common dma-buf locking convention

Hi Dmitry,

I've gone over this multiple times now and while it is still possible 
that we missed something I think that this should land now.

The whole topic is just to complicated that we can 100% sure guarantee 
that there isn't anything wrong with the locking, but lockdep and driver 
testing should allow us to quickly find remaining issues.

Do you have commit rights to drm-misc-next or should I push it?

Thanks,
Christian.
