$ git grep EOPNOTSUP -- drivers/gpu/drm/ | wc -l
114
$ git grep ENOTSUP -- drivers/gpu/drm/ | wc -l
32

Plus i915_pmu.c also has a use of EOPNOTSUPP already.

Furthermore the header for EOPNOTSUP has a pretty clear comment:

/* Defined for the NFSv3 protocol */

Above the entore block of error codes containing ENOTSUPP.

So given all that, plus that we've decided to go with EOPNOTSUPP as
the drm-wide recommendation: EOPNOTSUPP it is.

If you disagree, I think there's a pretty substantial patch series for
you to type and fix the docs and most users plus explain why we should
use an nsf-specific error code (which isn't much worse than the
abuse/reinterpretation we currently do, but still I think it's a bit
more bending of errno code intentions).

Cheers, Daniel
