Hi,

I send my patch series with  my personal email (15330273260 at 189.cn), 
because it is more reliable.

I don't mind remove it when this driver is applied.

OK,

To make sense, the caller can cast the return to s64. Use 0 is also ok.

In our daily usage,  tbo->pin_count ==0  never happens.  A warning 
message is enough.

I will revise this at next version.

Ok, we can help to provide more HW specific document and material.

Currently, our hardware is just a trivial compare with ati/amdgpu graphics.

Thomas and you and  are experts at graphics driver domain,

  Maybe you could do me a favor, give me a reviewed-by for the TTM and 
PRIME part :)
