Hi Michal,

What is the status on this patch? Did it ever get accepted upstream?
If so, what release? I don’t see the changes in the latest Linux kernel.
I am working on a system that involves a large number of GPUs, where
each GPU consumes a number of DRM devices. As such, I’m easily
exceeding the current limit of 64 in the (6.6) kernel. To workaround this issue,
I have temporarily picked up this patch which is doing the trick, but now
I’m wondering if this patch has seen the light of day in the Linux kernel.

Thanks for any info!

Regards,
Eric
