Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 5/7] drm/panfrost: Add a new ioctl to submit batches

What is handle? What is point? Why is there padding instead of putting
point first?

```

> +#define PANFROST_BO_REF_NO_IMPLICIT_DEP	0x2
```

This seems logically backwards. NO_IMPLICIT_DEP makes sense if we're
trying to keep backwards compatibility, but here you're crafting a new
interface totally from scratch. If anything, isn't BO_REF_IMPLICIT_DEP
the flag you'd want?

```

Hmm. I'm not /opposed/ and I know kbase uses strides but it seems like
somewhat unwarranted complexity, and there is a combinatoric explosion
here (if jobs, bo refs, and syncobj refs use 3 different versions, as
this encoding permits... as opposed to just specifying a UABI version or
something like that)

```

```

What if multiple jobs fail?
