Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the pointer, I'm definitely up for it!

I'd be happy to look into drm_lease.c as well.

From what I can see, there are other places in the kernel that could
use the _locked version of drm_is_current_master as well, such as
drm_mode_getfb in drm_framebuffer.c. I'll take a closer look, and if the
changes make sense I'll prepare a patch series for them.

Best wishes,
Desmond
