The patch below does not apply to the 4.16-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

The IMO best option is to cherry-pick commit

6073a09210e06 "drm/vmwgfx: Use kasprintf" by Himanshu Jha. It doesn't fix anything but is small and makes the below patch apply cleanly.

That worked, thanks!
