Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm: Rename crtc_idr as object_idr to KMS cleanups

Hi Shayenne,

Welcome to DRM.

As far as I can see you're a newcomer to kernel development, so I'd
recommend watch a recent talk from Marc [1]
He provides a very good introduction, both for newbies and for people
willing the know the deeper reasons behind.

That said, here's some suggestions:

The "... as ... to KMS cleanups" translation is very strange in

As pointed out in the talk - always self review and ensure patches
don't break things.
Here, DRM doesn't build which is obviously not correct and breaks things.
