It was just nit picking.
I just worried that drivers might try to call this function for cleaning
up an embedded instance of the structure; although the function's name
clearly indicates otherwise.
Kind of related, I think we should be more strict to use the abstract
GEM interfaces. For example, several drivers call drm_gem_shmem_vmap()
instead of drm_gem_vmap(). For this free function, we should require
drivers to call drm_gem_object_free() instead of the shmem function.
