I tried the linked patch on Kevin and Scarlet with 4.20-rc5-ish, with
$subject reverted; I saw no warnings/complaints, and things worked OK.
Same with Kevin on 4.19.6.

I can't test on 4.4.y, since drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() doesn't exist
there.

I can provide a Tested-by to the original patch if you'd like. (I won't
provide it here, lest patchwork apply it to the $subject patch.)
