I think Christian is doing this incrementally rather than as a single change across the tree. The last patch [2] in the series removes `dma_resv_init` and the `allocated` flag. I believe that was the main concern, and it appears to be addressed now. I'm taking the series for a spin now, as our CI [3] had trouble applying this patch. I'll let you know what my testing shows.

Yes, change logs / cover-letter would help as Danilo likely could have spotted the above change. Matt > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
