The same kind of issue has been fixed in v4l2: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/patch/drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-core.c?id=c1b96a236e94d49d9396d0bbceb5524519c5c66e I'm ok to add a DRM_RDWR flag, just do not remove the code from sti driver until I have been able to test it.
