I think I gave you bad advice about trying to separate the "default
device" idea from the VGA arbiter.
It is true that the "VGA arbiter" per se is related to routing the
legacy VGA resources, and the arbiter currently only selects a default
device if it finds a device to which those resources are routed.
We have some cases where we want to select a default device that may
not support the legacy VGA resources, or where they might not be
routed to the device:
- systems where we match the EFI framebuffer address with a BAR, and
select that device as default,
- powerpc systems where there may be no host bridge window that maps
to the legacy VGA resources,
- your ARM64 systems where the default device may be behind a bridge
that doesn't support legacy VGA routing (PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA)
But I think trying to split the "default device" part out from the VGA
arbiter ends up being overkill and making things more complicated
instead of simpler.
Would something like the following work for you as well as the powerpc
case? On powerpc, we already use vga_set_default_device() to select a
device that doesn't use legacy VGA resources, so maybe we can just do
the same on ARM64?
I suppose there might be wrinkles in how the arbiter deals with
multiple graphics devices on those systems, since I don't think it
identifies these devices that don't use the legacy resources, but it
seems like we live with whatever those on are powerpc and probably can
on ARM64 as well.
