[PATCH][libdrm] drm: Fix multi GPU drmGetDevice return wrong device

[Yu, Qiang]

Thanks Emil, I'll submit v2 to address your comments.


I'm using office365, not sure this mail is OK for formatting, otherwise I'll switch to a mail client.


Regards,

Qiang

Heh, silly me was assumed that your earlier patch fixed all the
codepaths to handle the "holes" made by drmFoldDuplicatedDevices.
Seems like the ones drmFreeDevices and drmGetDevice are still
outstanding, thus the predicament.

In this case we could do either:
 - go with the above making sure drmFoldDuplicatedDevices doesn't create 'holes'
Note: we still want to fix drmFreeDevices to continue (as opposed to
break) when it sees one.
 - or, fix drmGetDevice/drmFreeDevices

In either case we want that as separate patch, bonus points for adding
a inline comment about the behaviour of drmFoldDuplicatedDevices.

About the core issue a trivial suggestion - s/move target to the first
of local_devices/store target at local_devices[0] for ease to use
below/

Thanks
Emil
