OK, I will add a link to dri-devel.

I'll move it to the end.

OK, I'll use (C) everywhere.

drm logging doesn't provide the granuality we need.
We plan to add tracepoints in future patches.

OK, I'll move it.

No, but I will add break for consistency.

This allows user space to close fd immediately without blocking the process in case the job is still being processed by the HW.

OK, I will move this function up.

Yes, it's a typo.

No, I'll use PTR_ERR.

Sure, I will use it.

We have two firmware API headers under MIT. Can we still say "GPL"? Some drivers use "GPL v2", wouldn't this be better as it's more specific?
