I really think this changelog could do with more work. Specifically for
this patch, I'd just say:

Convert v3d_gem_fault to return vm_fault_t

Instead of converting an errno into a vm_fault_t ourselves, use
vmf_insert_mixed() which returns a vm_fault_t directly.

The line-split here is kind of ugly. I'd do a little more extensive surgery:

- unsigned long pfn;
+ pfn_t pfn;

- pfn = page_to_pfn(bo->pages[pgoff]);
+ pfn = __pfn_to_pfn_t(page_to_pfn(bo->pages[pgoff]), PFN_DEV);

+ return vmf_insert_mixed(vma, vmf->address, pfn);
