Yes and no. Full explainer here:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-uapi.html#open-source-userspace-requirements

In the drm subsystem this is pretty much the only rule where if you break
it the book will be thrown at you with extreme prejudice.

Also wrt circular: If the umd aren't set up to test their branches against
kernel branches they need to fix their stuff. I know that internally
that's not been done, and its a disaster, but in upstream there's no room
for excuses. Both kernel and userspace needs to be in branches until it's
ready for merging.

Yeah which is another problem, shipping new uapi in downstream before it's
in upstream is decidedly not great.
