Subject: Re: [PATCH 5.11 073/120] drm/ttm: Warn on pinning without holding a
 reference

Hi Greg,

sorry just realized this after users started to complain. This patch 
shouldn't been backported to 5.11 in the first place.

The warning itself is a good idea, but we also have patch for drivers 
and TTM in the pipeline for 5.12 so that the warning isn't triggered any 
more.

Without backporting all of that we now get a rain of warnings in 5.11.9.

My suggestion is to revert this patch from the 5.11 branch.

Thanks,
Christian.
