Hi, what happened to these patches? In thread "[REGRESSION] drm/etnaviv: command buffer outside valid memory window" [1] it was mentioned these got "shot down" due to layering violations, but no official correspondence has been found? Is is due to exporting symbols from mm/cma.c in [1/2] and why is this an issue? We are still affected by issue these patches tried to address and we are interested in getting the solution into mainline. Patches were integrated (small fix required due to renamed include file header) and tested on latest master with PHYTEC's 2GiB phyCORE SoM and cma=256M kernel cmdline parameter.

In the end, it looks like we are not the only ones with the same issues as patch "drm/etnaviv: optionally set gpu linear window to cma area" that addresses the same issue was submitted by Sven Van Asbroeck (see [2]). Unfortunately, his solution was also not accepted. Please advise what would be the best solution implementation and how to proceed in this case?
