This patch breaks compiling kernel 2.6.33 + the current stable queue:

  CC [M]  drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.o
/tmp/buildd/linux-sidux-2.6-2.6.33/debian/build/source_amd64_none/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.c: In function 'radeon_cs_parser_fini':
/tmp/buildd/linux-sidux-2.6-2.6.33/debian/build/source_amd64_none/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.c:200: error: implicit declaration of function 'drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked'
make[6]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.o] Error 1

as it depends on the introduction of drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked()
in:

    drm: introduce drm_gem_object_[handle_]unreference_unlocked
    
    This patch introduces the drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked
    and drm_gem_object_handle_unreference_unlocked functions that
    do not require holding struct_mutex.
    
    drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked calls the new
    ->gem_free_object_unlocked entry point if available, and
    otherwise just takes struct_mutex and just calls ->gem_free_object

which in turn suggests:

    Use drm_gem_object_[handle_]unreference_unlocked where possible
    
    Mostly obvious simplifications.
    
    The i915 pread/pwrite ioctls, intel_overlay_put_image and
    nouveau_gem_new were incorrectly using the locked versions
    without locking: this is also fixed in this patch.

which don't really look like candidates for 2.6.33-stable.

  				^ drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked() doesn't exist in 2.6.33, yet
  				  we can use drm_gem_object_unreference() instead.

As a consequence, I'd suggest to merely backport the NULL pointer check,
while ignoring the simplification of using the newly introduced
drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked() from 2.6.34:
