[PATCH] drm/msm/gpu: make ringbuffer readonly

[PATCH] drm/msm/gpu: make ringbuffer readonly

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

The GPU has no business writing into the ringbuffer, let's make it
readonly to the GPU.

Fixes: 7198e6b03155 ("drm/msm: add a3xx gpu support")

Yep. There are some additional things we can do in the a6xx family to make this
even more robust but for the vast majority of targets out in this world this is
a good and necessary fix.
