Note that pre-nv50, no modifiers exist. Also,
drm_drv_uses_atomic_modeset() doesn't care whether the client is an
atomic client or not. It will return true for nv50+ no matter what.
nouveau_atomic=1 affects whether atomic UAPI is exposed. Not sure if
this impacts your discussion.
Thanks Ilia. So nouveau is fine in any case, as nv50 => modifiers and atomic commit even if atomic UAPI is off. Also drm_drv_uses_atomic_modeset() is the right choice, as my patch should check if the atomic driver uses atomic commit, it doesn't care about atomic UAPI or the client being atomic.
