2 more nitpicks:
- patch doesn't apply cleanly - can you please rebase against
  drm-intel-next-queued available at

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel/

- please move the new gmbus_mutex to the other gmbus stuff in
  drm_i915_private and add a small comment to that it explains against
  concurrent use (from e.g. userspace) of the single gmbus controller.

Yours, Daniel
