Selecting CONFIG_DRM selects CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET, which exports

approximation on whether i915 will be available. It's safe to use as
this is only built when CONFIG_SND_HDA_I915 is selected by CONFIG_I915.

It's not completely fool proof, as you can boot with "nomodeset
i915.modeset=1" to make i915 load regardless, or use
"i915.force_probe=!*" to never load i915, but the common case of
booting with nomodeset to disable all GPU drivers this will work as
intended.

Because of this, we add an extra module parameter,
snd_hda_core.gpu_bind that can be used to signal users intent.
-1 follows nomodeset, 0 disables binding, 1 forces wait/-EPROBE_DEFER
on binding.

Bear with me since I am just going back to work mode but I can't figure
out what the second part of the test does

bool video_firmware_drivers_only(void)
{
	return video_nomodeset;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(video_firmware_drivers_only);

and video_nomodeset=1 by default, so why would we return false when
gpu_bind = -1?

This seems to be a change of functionality, what am I missing?
video_nomodeset is 0 by default, only when nomodeset is given as argument is it set to 1. :-)

Cheers,
