There are at least three other patches in the same series that don't
build. I expect them to be handled fairly quickly, and would rather we
not merge this, because it hides the problem from all the drm-tip users
that are the folks who would actually fix the issue.

I'd be totally fine sending this as a revert to dri-devel to be merged
for real instead of core-for-CI.

BR,
Jani.
