Hi Christian,

I'm sorry for digging this one out so late.

It looks like this particular patch affects merging Sync Fences, which 
is reflected by failing IGT test (igt at sw_sync)[1]. The failing subtests are:
   - sync_merge - merging different fences on the same timeline, neither
		 single nor merged fences are signaled

   - sync_merge_same - merging the fence with itself on the same
		 timeline, the fence didn't signal at all

   - sync_multi_timeline_wait - merging different fences on different
		 timelines; the subtest checks if counting fences of
		 various states works. Currently, it can only see 2
		 active fences, 0 signaling (should be 2 active,
		 1 signaling)

Reverting this commit on the top of drm-tip fixes the issue, but I'm not 
sure if it wouldn't impact other places in the code. Please let me know 
if I can be of any help.

All the best,
Karolina
