Hi Lukas,
Please send the patch to the list and maintainers reported by get_maintainer.pl (specifically the platform-driver-x86 list and my infradead ID) so we can have the review on list.
Thanks,

Hi Darren,
the following patch is a useful fix for apple-gmux by Matthew Garrett which is well over a year old but unfortunately never got merged.
The commit message makes it sound as if the fix is only needed for reprobing (in case apple-gmux registers after the DRM drivers). I'm not yet sure if we'll use reprobing or deferred initialization, however the patch is needed even if we go with deferred initialization as it fixes a race condition that is triggered by invoking a handler callback between the call to vga_switcheroo_register_handler() and the assignment of apple_gmux_data.
The patch has seen extensive testing and is actively used by myself and others on various MacBook Pro models.
Could you take a look at the patch and (barring any objections) ack it?
Thanks,
Lukas
