I also saw the patch, and had the same reaction. I'm fine with
changing the ABI, it was done already anyway
(cbfbbabb89b37f6bad05f478d906a385149f288d, "drm/tegra: Remove
gratuitous pad field"). And as you say, this is only in staging so
nobody is really relying on it, except grate and libdrm (in which this
is clearly marked as experimental). I'm fine with just changing it,
and updating grate and libdrm accordingly.
