Hi Sebastian,
Please add my 'Tested-by' to the below patch.  

   [linux-5.12.y-rt] drm/i915/gt: Fix a lockdep warning with interrupts enabled (Jun Miao)

What was tested was a backport to 5.10-rt.  One reject
was encountered, trivially resolved.  No other adjustments
were made.

My regression tests of last night all passed without any
of the usual lockdep splats occuring.  Prior to this,
I could be assured of a large enough flood of splats to
overwhelm the kernel log.

My test stand is a Supermicro C7Z170-SQ.  This is tthe
only system I have on which I could trigger the problem.

I could not find this patch in the 5.12-rt or the 5.15-rt
tree, so I fetched a copy out of the linux-rt-users
archives, and backported that.
