Re: [PATCH] drm: amd: Use kmemdup instead of duplicating its function

Hi Zhong Jiang,

Sorry for the late response. I just saw this while catching up with my
backlog after travelling end of September.

I applied your patch to amd-staging-drm-next. I only changed the
headline slightly to use the "drm/admkfd: " prefix that we commonly use
for KFD changes.

Regards,
 Felix
