This code isn't upstream - in drm-misc/drm-misc-next (and all mainline
kernels from what I can tell) this doesn't have any "is_dumb" test.
Which branch are you using?

I agree that with the above code the panfrost_job_cleanup() would need
changing. But we don't (currently) have this code upstream, so this
change doesn't make sense upstream.
