Subject: [RESEND PATCH 4/6] drm_hyperv: Remove support for synth video protocol of old Hyper-V hosts
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:11:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730201123.1767-5-mhklinux@outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730201123.1767-1-mhklinux@outlook.com>
With the overall removal of Linux support for running on Hyper-V
hosts earlier than WS2016 and Windows 10, it's no longer necessary
to support older synthetic video protocols. Remove the support.
