That's basically what I'm proposing here, just didn't post the patch
skipping the GET_OFFSET step and doing the mmap() on the dmabuf FD
instead of the DRM-node one, but I have it working for panfrost.

Yes, but maybe that's something we should start fixing if mmap()-ing
the dmabuf is the recommended solution.
