Hi Javier, looks good already. Some comments are below. Am 17.12.21 um 01:37 schrieb Javier Martinez Canillas:
According to disable Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, the nomodeset parameter can be used to disable kernel modesetting. DRM drivers will not perform display-mode changes or accelerated rendering and only the system framebuffer will be available if it was set-up. But only a few DRM drivers currently check for nomodeset, so let's add two helper macros that can be used by DRM drivers for PCI and platform devices to have module init functions that checks if the drivers could be loaded.

I worked on a similar patch today and found that drm_drv.h is actually not a good place. Half of DRM includes this file and now it all depends on linux/pci.h and linux/platform.h (and probably other later).
I propose to put the module helpers into <drm/drm_module.h> and include it where necessary.

This should be declared as __init, so it goes into a separate section of the module. IIRC the page in the init section are released after the module has been loaded.
I'd either not document the register functions, or explicitly say that the module macros are the preferred way of using them.
