vgaarb only deal with the VGA devcie(pdev->class == 0x0300), so replace the
pci_get_subsys() function with pci_get_class(). Filter the non pci display
device out. There no need to process the non display PCI device.
s/non pci/non-PCI/
s/non display/non-display/
This is fine, and I'll merge this, but someday I would like to get rid
of the bus_register_notifier() and call vga_arbiter_add_pci_device()
and vga_arbiter_del_pci_device() directly from the PCI core.
Nice idea!
But I'm wondering there are traps in this.
The pci_notifier in vgaarb.c is still need on Mips platform.
Because of loading order problems.
On MIPS system, PCI devices are enumerated by pcibios_init(),
which runs after vga_arb_device_init(). This is true until now.
When vga_arb_device_init() function get called, it will capture nothing.
On that time, the system have no PCI device enumerated.
Because of this, there are various problems in the past.
This is the reason we still need the notifier,
we need a way to capture the PCI display device after vgaarb already
loaded(finished).
On complex case, there are ASpeed BMC, loongson integrated display
controller,
and radeon discrete video card co-exist on Loongson 3B4000 server.
I have fixed various bug at our downstream(linux-4.19) environment.
I have fixed a bug on downstream involved with aspeed bmc, by workaround[1].
Chen Huacai grabbing my patch[1] and rewrite it, submit together with
him-self's.
Its fine, but those patch still look paleness in the front of Loongson
integrated display controller.
Loongson integrated display controller don't has a dedicated VRAM bar.
vga_is_firmware_default() will lose its effectiveness then.
This is the reason we reveal our patch(0004 in this series) to face
upstream.
Its not only for loongson integrated display controller through.
Its not uncommon that ARM servers have A aspeed BMC and discrete amdgpu
or old radeon card.
Let the device drivers gave us a hint probably can help to resolve
multi-video card co-exist
problem.
Consider that sometime user want to use integrate gpu, sometime user
want to use discrete gpu.
Also, during driver developing(or debugging),
driver writer may want override the default boot device.
vgaarb probable shouldn't make the decision
without giving the device driver a chance to override.
Beside, vga_is_firmware_default() only apply for PCI display device.
On ARM64 system, there are a lot of platform device.
If we move this function back to the device driver,
it probably applicable for a platform display controller + one/two PCI
display devices case.
We find a method at downstream during we get efifb works LoongArch platform.
We can utilize the screen_info, screen_info say where's the firmware
framebuffer is located at.
Drivers for specific hardware platform perhaps know more clearly than
vgaarb.
if it is the default boot device.

Or if you wanted to do that now, that would be even better :)
