Ah that sounds good, I somehow thought that etnaviv also uses the helpers,
but there we only had problems with dma-buf. So that's all sorted.

Ah I missed that detail, if msm solved that the same way then I think very
high chances it all ends up being compatible. Which is really what
matters, not so much whether every last driver actually has converted
over.

I'm good for an ack, but maybe ping Thomas for a review on irc since I'm
out next week. Also maybe Thomas has some series you can help land for
cross review.
