Subject: Re: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: reorder nouveau_drm_device_fini

Also JFYI Mark - I just realized that your email client is defaulting to
sending HTML mail when you reply to me, that doesn't really make it onto the
mailing list at all so you probably want to fix that.

Also - I misspoke here again, I think it should actually be a call to
drm_kms_helper_poll_fini() instead since that will both cancel the output poll
worker and update dev->mode_config.poll_enabled to prevent the output poll
worker from starting up again. The documentation doesn't say it's fine to call
drm_kms_helper_poll_disable() after that, but it seems to be safe from looking
at the code - and I think someone just generally forgot to write docs for
drm_kms_helper_poll_fini()…
