Yury set up a new tree and the patch we had in drm-xe-next will
(eventually) go through that tree.  We also had some issues with those
patches, so they are currently on the back burner. Current discussion
going on at https://lore.kernel.org/intel-xe/20240208074521.577076-1-lucas.demarchi@xxxxxxxxx/T/#mc0d83438c5b6164eabea85bb3b5eef7503dade84

I'm surprised to see 3c7a8e190bc5 ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros
for GENMASK") with no acks from maintainer though. Btw, aren't you
missing some includes in include/uapi/linux/bits.h?
