Hi,

sorry for letting these patches sit around for so long. I'd say that if
you waited for a week or two without further responses, it's ok to ping
people.

Overall, the patch seems correct, expect for this line. DRM data
structures should now be allocated with drmm_kzalloc() in drm_managed.h.
It was added recently.

With devm_kzalloc(), the memory will be released when the HW device goes
away. If userspace still holds a reference, the driver can segfault.
Using drmm_kzalloc() delays the release until the memory is really unused.

However, hibmc's modesetting pipeline appears to be always the same. I
think you should consider embedding connector and encoder (and crtc) in
struct hibmc_drm_private. Would make the code simpler and more robust.

Best regards
Thomas
