Yeah, if you're looking for context on these, the last place I
remember it coming up was wanting to know which other objects would
potentially be dragged into a commit. For example, on ye olde (?)
Intel platforms, if programming a different mode is actually
stop-the-world where all other CRTCs get affected by a CDCLK change,
being able to know that those other CRTCs would be affected before it
happens, rather than random -EBUSY after the fact.

Cheers,
Daniel
