Makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out.

I see. Good points. I'll follow your advice and do this name change in
the next version.

Yes, I understand I have the same goal as in the next patch:
- https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20240327214953.367126-5-mwen@igalia.com/

Am I missing something?

Oh, okay. I'll review the overall usage in this series. Thanks for
warning.
