Good to know! I'll consider integrating smatch and other static checking
into my preflight checks.

By the way, I'm interested in contributing more to drm as a hobbyist.
I've been working on todo items in drm documentation and I plan to
continue doing that. If there's anything you'd like help with or you
know of any work to be done which I may not find in the todo list,
please let me know. I can be contacted here on the public mailing lists,
via direct email, or via #dri-devel on OFTC (my nick is xeyler).

Cheers,
Brigham
