I just pushed

commit 7581d5ca2bb269cfc2ce2d0cb489aac513167f6b
Author: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Thu Jun 22 17:02:11 2017 +0100

    drm/i915/fbdev: Check for existence of ifbdev->vma before operations

which is a backport of 15727ed0d944 ("drm/i915/fbdev: Check for
existence of ifbdev->vma before operations") to dinf.

Should this patch be backported too?

BR,
Jani.
