Hi Mathias,

thanks for the good help and no problem with the Signed-off-by line. If 
you don't object we will just add a "Signed-off-by: Mathias Tillman 
<master.homer at gmail.com>" line when we push this patch to the repository.

It's just for tracking who created which code and who might know why 
something is implemented as it is, but since it's rather obvious what's 
wrong here there probably won't be any more questions about his.

I honestly don't remember if I have commit access to libdrm myself, but 
going to check. If not Alex or somebody else need to commit this.

Regards,
Christian.
