What makes this such a big problem? Really? DRM is not hotpluggable in any shape or form, and David Airlie has indicated that he does strongly opposes moving it in that direction. DRM follows the "card" model, where, at probe time, the hardware is known and never changes until the "card" is torn down. No new connectors can be added once the "card" is initialised, and no connectors can be removed. Any changes must be done by tearing down the entire card and reconstructing it (if reconstructing it with a reduced set of hardware is appropriate.) -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
