To apply this, we're going to want to split the patch up between v3d
(with a fixes tag to the introduction of the driver, since it's a
pretty critical fix) and vc4 (where it's used in KMS, and we're pretty
sure we want it but changing timing like this in KMS paths is risky so
we don't want to backport to stable).  And adjust the commit messages
to have consistent prefixes to the rest of the commits to those
drivers.

I've been fighting with the drm maintainer tools today to try to apply
the patch, with no luck.   I'll keep trying, and if I succeed, I'll
push it.
