Afaict the general consensus seems to be that one should avoid using stdint's uint8_t, but stick to __u8 and friends. Did you had the chance to roll out another series that does so ? That aside I'm not 100% sure that doing the UAPI split, as is, was the perfect solution. Afaik drm used to live as an out of tree userspace library(libdrm). Not sure at which point the major restructuring took part, but one is certain - libdrm remains the only authoritative sources of the headers. It's possible that some buggy programs pull the UAPI headers while linking against the library, but I'd say that won't end up well in the long term. Additionally since the UAPI split the `make update-headers' target used to sync libdrm's headers have been broken leading people to copy misc. hunks and/or files. Leading to greater chance of things going sour. All that said, I will need to gather some opinions for drm developers and maintainers if the idea of part revering 718dcedd7e8(UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/drm) will be the way forward.
