Well you implement some kind of clamping in i915 drivers. My stance is that no matter what exact kind of clamping we agree on it should be implemented in shared code in the probe helpers. And we already have quite a bit of unknown duct-taping going on in the probe helpers, but it seems to not be enough. And tbh I'm not sure what more we need short of just clamping unknown in general. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
