Re: [PATCH] fix: drm/vmwgfx: vmw_user_shader_alloc: fix base object refcount leak on ttm_base_object_init failure

[kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>]

Hi WenTao,

kernel test robot noticed the following build errors:

[auto build test ERROR on drm-misc/drm-misc-next]
[also build test ERROR on daeinki-drm-exynos/exynos-drm-next drm/drm-next drm-i915/for-linux-next drm-i915/for-linux-next-fixes drm-tip/drm-tip linus/master v7.2-rc6 next-20260807]
[If your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, kindly drop us a note.
And when submitting patch, we suggest to use '--base' as documented in
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch#_base_tree_information]
