Subject: [PATCH 11/11] drm/xe: Allow probe without a primary GT
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 23:14:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110231442.218721-24-stuart.summers@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110231442.218721-13-stuart.summers@intel.com>

Probe required a graphics IP and a primary GT, so the media only
combination the gt_types_allowed configfs attribute can ask for was
rejected outright.

Require instead that something is left to drive: at least one of the two
IPs has to be detected, and every tile has to end up with at least one
GT. The dgpu concern the old comment raised is covered by VRAM being a
graphics IP property, so a device without one has no VRAM to manage.
