From 7d14bb6b537414ffe6a8641cb14088465c28460d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2013 15:41:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm: don't call ->firstopen for KMS drivers It has way too much potential for driver writers to do stupid things like delayed hw setup because the load sequence is somehow racy (e.g. the imx driver in staging). So don't call it for modesetting drivers, which reduces the complexity of the drm core -> driver interface a notch. v2: Don't forget to update DocBook. v3: Go with Laurent's slightly more elaborate proposal for the DocBook update. Add a few words on top of his diff to elaborate a bit on what KMS drivers should and shouldn't do in lastclose. There was already a paragraph present talking about restoring properties, I've simply extended that one.
