Thanks Chris for the inputs. For this case, there will be only one fence
in sync_file->fence after doing sync_file_merge(). Regarding to the current
implementation, dma_fence_array_create() is not called as num_fences is equal
to 1. I was wondering do you suggest that we pass a complete set of signaled
fences to sync_file_set_fence() and handle it in dma_fence_array_create().
Thanks.
