That looks like a step into the right direction, but still isn't correct.

The code using this interface should call amdgpu_ctx_wait_prev_fence() 
before calling amdgpu_ctx_add_fence(). And amdgpu_ctx_wait_prev_fence() 
in turn calls dma_fence_wait() which should also enables the signaling.

So when we need this here something is still very wrong on the logic :)

Thanks,
Christian.
