btw, I noticed this because it got flagged in the nightly coverity runs.
Of the 18 new issues added yesterday 14 were from drivers/gpu/

If drm developers want to sign up at http://scan.coverity.com
to help out looking over those (and the backlog: stats below)
I can get those accounts approved quickly.

I've been going through trying to clear out as much of the 'noise'
as possible, but it's a huge job.  There's a bunch of cases where
the checker can't figure out if it's a real bug or not because
it doesn't know things like "the hardware will only ever return
these values", but the majority look like actual coding flaws.
