I'll repost your patch set + new one that exports to a common gem object;
already worked and tested. I think it's good for they to be one set because
only using the patch 1/3 doesn't look good even though Exynos works fine
with the path 1/3.

So I'll repost it like below if you agree with me,
[PATCH 0/4] Small i915/exynos prime cleanup
[PATCH 1/4] drm: use common drm_gem_dmabuf_release in i915/exynos drivers
[PATCH 2/4] drm/i915: unpin backing storage in dmabuf_unmap
[PATCH 3/4] drm/i915: explicit store base gem object in dma_buf->priv
[PATCH 4/4] drm/exynos: explicit store base gem object in dma_buf->priv

After this, you can take care of them until merged to next. Or you can
repost this patch set including my patch again. What you proper doesn't
matter to me. :)

And it seems better that exynos keeps using existing dmabuf interfaces
without replacing them to common drm_gem_dmabuf ones because we may need
features only for Exynos. Actually, now exynos dmabuf includes some features
related to v4l2 and gpu driver for more performance.
