So, a committer just applied this to drm-misc-fixes without your
approval. Could you ack it? If you don't want to, we'll fix it.

Wait, why exactly is this needed?  Nothing outside of the driver core
should be needing this function, it shouldn't be public at all (I missed
that before.)

So please, revert it for now, let's figure out why DRM thinks this is
needed for it's devices, and yet no other bus/subsystem does.

thanks,

That was me, mea culpa.
I learned a lesson. Or two.

I'm preparing a revert series back to the original patch causing
the issue so we can clear the original bug out of the way, take
a step back and fix this properly.
