It's one of these patch series with some many different subsystems and
people you can't cc the cover to all of them or mailing lists start
rejecting you because too many recipients. I tried to spam sufficient
mailng lists, but I guess not enough.
Cover letter of version one, which tries to explain the full big picture:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-May/218362.html
tldr; I have a multi-year plan to improve fbcon locking, because the
current thing is a bit a mess.
Cover letter of this version, where I detail a bit more the details
fixed in this one here:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2019-May/218984.html
I can also bounce these to you if you want.
Thanks, Daniel
