This series is in a much better shape compared to the existing status quo. rmmod
works without any issue and I can re-insmod the driver again.

The only issue that I'm seeing that is not critical is that at reboot/shutdown time
I'm getting an "Unexpected global fault, this could be serious" from the smmu:

The reboot/shutdown succeeds, so I'm not too worried about it for now, but hope that
this is something you'll keep in mind in the later series when you do drm_dev_unplug().

With that, for the whole series:

Thanks for the patience and going through the series iterations with me.

I can pull this series into drm-misc-next on Monday if you don't have any other plans.

Best regards,
