Sorry my bad, that should have been a BugLink tag. The patch in question is a bugfix,
but it is sorta hard to pinpoint the cause to a specific commit, this problem was
probably introduced during the conversion of nouveau to support atomic modesetting,
which is quite a while ago and involves lots of patches.

Not sure how to best fix this since fixing would require rewriting history. I hope this
is just something we can live with?
