I guess here we are making a generic function and nothing specific to 
the driver or a feature like uq_manager. this is supposed to be a common 
helper function for all drm clients
and based on drm_file. With respect to the user i guess the 
driver/feature specific information can we placed in the caller itself 
and thats upto the user.
