Hi Greg,

sorry just realized this after users started to complain. This patch
shouldn't been backported to 5.11 in the first place.

The warning itself is a good idea, but we also have patch for drivers and
TTM in the pipeline for 5.12 so that the warning isn't triggered any more.

Without backporting all of that we now get a rain of warnings in 5.11.9.

My suggestion is to revert this patch from the 5.11 branch.
Thanks, will go do so right now and push out a new 5.11 release with
that in it to keep the noise down for you.

Thanks a lot for that! I got a bit swamped this morning because of mails and bug reports.

Christian.
