The drm/msm driver had adopted using Python3 script to generate register

the minimal Python version supported by the script.

This document needs some help... I'm missing a number of things that are
*not* marked as "optional" (jfsutils, reiserfsprogs, pcmciautils, ppp,
...) and somehow my system works fine :)  It would be nice to document
*why* users might need a specific tool.

But I guess we aren't going to do that now.  I can apply this, but I do
wonder about the "optional" marking.

Thanks,
