I love your solution to this!

Interesting.  I think I would have stored a bool for whether he had the
kref, instead of a pointer to vc4->bin_bo_kref.  Either way is fine with
me, though.

Could we have this be the function that vc4_v3d.c publishes instead of
_free, and then we don't need two separate functions for the free path?

Hmm.  I'm thinking:

We free the bin BO from the DRM fd close operation, but we could have
jobs still being executed after the close if userspace didn't happen to
wait on them before finishing (closing doesn't wait for execution to
complete, and we couldn't reliably wait during close even if we wanted
to).  I think to resolve that we need the vc4_exec_info to keep a ref on
the bin BO as well (at least, if they had a binning component to their
job).
