Looks good to me as well, Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>.

I think this way we can also merge it with the AMDGPU patches who needs this through amd-staging-drm-next.

Let's sync up with Alex on the next weekly call, I think we should start creating an internal branch for the new feature if that hasn't be done yet.

Thanks,
Christian.
