Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

I became intrigued by the one-line summary, which seemed to suggest
(according to my interpretation) that including kernel.h is a Real Bad
Thing.
But basically all you wanted to say was:
drm: shmobile: Reduce include dependencies
and:
This file doesn't need everything provided by <linux/kernel.h>.
All it needs are some types, which are provided by <linux/types.h>.
Right?
BTW, <drm/drm_mode.h> already includes <linux/types.h>, but not relying
on implicit includes is indeed a good thing.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
