Daniel briefly looked at this and was somewhat disgusted with how little safety this framework has built in. The infrastructure was copied from DRM panel which therefore suffers from the same shortcomings. I've been working on a small set of patches to implement some generic mechanism to add reference counting and such for this type of infrastructure. Until those patches are ready I think we either can't merge the patches or we take the risk that drivers will actually use the current fragile infrastructure in a safe way and then supply the safer infrastructure later on.
