The nomodeset kernel command line parameter is used to prevent the KMS/DRM
drivers to be registered/probed. But only a few drivers implement support
for this and most DRM drivers just ignore it.
This patch series is a v3 to make DRM drivers to honour nomodeset. It is
posted as separate patches to make easier for drivers maintainers to ack
or pick them independently at their own pace.
The drm_module_{pci,platform}_driver() helper macros are added, which are
just wrappers around module_{pci,platform}_driver() but adding a check for
drm_firmware_drivers_only() and returning -ENODEV if that is true.
PCI and platform DRM drivers are then modified in the following patches to
make use of those macros.
Only KMS drivers will be ported to use these new macros, and only for PCI
and platform DRM drivers. A follow-up series might do the same for drivers
that are rendering-only and for USB/SPI/I2C devices, but it will need more
discussion to agree whether that's desirable or not.
Not all drivers were posted in v3 to avoid flooding the list with too many
patches. I'm only including the patches adding the macros and some patches
as an example of their usage.
I've built tested with 'make allmodconfig && make M=drivers/gpu/drm' but I
don't have hardware to test the drivers, so review/testing is appreciated.
Best regards,
Javier
Changes in v3:
- Include Thomas Zimmermann's patches in the series and rebase on top.
- Add collected Acked-by tags from v2.
Changes in v2:
- Add drm_module_{pci,platform}_driver() macros and put the check there
(Thomas Zimmermann).
- Use the drm_module_*_driver() macros if possible (Thomas Zimmermann).
- Leave the DRM drivers that don't set the DRIVER_MODESET driver feature
(Lucas Stach).
- Leave USB/SPI/I2C drivers and only include PCI and platform ones
(Noralf Trønnes).
- Add collected Reviewed-by tags
