Hm, I've only done that because callers of dma_resv_init where holding
lots of locks already (ttm ghost objects). At least in i915 we try to do
all lockdep priming as close as possible to the mutex_init calls, so it's
all together. Since often there's no separate obj_init function, and you
need to use the same mutex_init to make sure you have the same static
lockdep key.

No strong opinion here from me, just wanted to explain why I'm biased to
this way of doing things.

Thanks. Can you pls also look at patch 2, at least from a ttm/amdgpu pov?

Cheers, Daniel
