[PATCH] drm/todo: clarify drm_syncobj error TODOs

[PATCH] drm/todo: clarify drm_syncobj error TODOs

[Christian König]

Before I get another mail asking if somebody is already working on this
clarify that the kernel parts are already implemented and we only need
the userspace parts done.

Add Michel as additional contact since he wrote a really good summary
how that could potentially be used by compositors.

Might be worth adding a lore link to aid finding it in the future and 
fix the stray space while pushing.

Patch Review

**Purpose:** Prevent repeated "is anybody working on this?" emails by clarifying that the kernel side is done and only userspace work remains. Also adds Michel Dänzer as a second contact.

**Review:**

The changes are sensible and clearly motivated by the commit message. Two minor observations:

1. **Trailing space before closing parenthesis:**
   ```
   +(patches are on the dri-devel mailing list ) but adding support for that in the
   ```
   There's a stray space before the `)` — `mailing list )` should be `mailing list)`. This is a cosmetic nit but worth fixing since it's a documentation file that humans will read.

2. **Pre-existing typo `complection`** (line 894 in current tree / line 110 context in the patch):
   ```
   complection of submission.
   ```
   This should be `completion`. It's not introduced by this patch — it's pre-existing — but since the patch is already touching this section, it would be a nice drive-by fix to correct it. Not a blocker.

3. **Vagueness about kernel patches:** The text says "patches are on the dri-devel mailing list" without a link or series identifier. It might be helpful to readers to include a Message-Id or link-to-lore reference so they can find the actual kernel patches, but this is optional.

4. **Level unchanged at "Starter":** Since the kernel work is done and only userspace remains, keeping this as "Starter" seems appropriate — userspace integration work is a reasonable entry point for new contributors.

**Overall: The patch is good to go with the trivial whitespace fix (`mailing list )` → `mailing list)`).**

This is a single documentation-only patch updating `Documentation/gpu/todo.rst` to reflect the current status of drm_syncobj error querying. The kernel IOCTL implementation work has been done (patches posted to dri-devel), but the userspace stack still needs updating. The patch also adds Michel Dänzer as a contact since he wrote a summary about compositor usage.

**Verdict: Straightforward and correct.** One very minor nit below.
