I know it's rather late, but this patch broke the Etnaviv 3D graphics
in my i.MX6Q.

When I try to use the 3D, it returns some errors and the dmesg log
shows some memory allocation errors too:

and the 3D gemos work without this.

I don't know enough about the i.MX6 nor the 3D accelerator to know how
to fix it.
I am hoping someone in the know might have some suggestions.
