[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Replace kzalloc + copy_from_user with memdup_user
Posted by Thorsten Blum 1 day ago 
Replace kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify ta_if_load_debugfs_write() and
ta_if_invoke_debugfs_write().

No functional changes intended.

I never received this series.  I didn't see it in patchwork either.
Seems it never made it to amd-gfx.  Sorry I missed it. I've applied
the applicable patches now.
