Sorry, not signing up for that. It looked easy enough to adjust existing calls, but anything more complicated and I'm out of time. If anything, this patch is mostly a signal that user-space would like to receive CONNECTOR properties. User-space is typed up and ready if any kernel dev wants to implement this. I'm completely fine with abandonning this patch. _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
