[Intel-gfx] Genereal question regarding kernel development

[Daniel Vetter]

Hi Jan,

First things first, please _always_ cc relevant mailing lists.

Second: I've submitted a proper patch to revert this behaviour change,
but it has been nacked. I've poked Dave Airlie about it again on irc.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2402211/

Thanks, Daniel
