Yes, I was wondering about that, too.

Quoting from 8a357d10043c ("drm: Nerf DRM_CONTROL nodes"):

  Since I don't like dead uabi, let's remove it. But since this would be
  a really big change I think it's better to start out small by simply
  not registering anything. We can garbage-collect the dead code later
  on, once we're sure it's really not used anywhere.

I'd too prefer compile time errors by purging ->control here. Daniel?

  # git grep '\->control' -- drivers/gpu/
  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c:                              adev->ddev->control->debugfs_root,
  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c:                              adev->ddev->control);

Oops.

  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdkfd/kfd_dbgdev.c:        ib_packet->control = (1 << 23) | (1 << 31) |
  drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c:              return &dev->control;

That's drm_minor_get_slot(dev, type), but grepping for DRM_MINOR_CONTROL
doesn't yield anything -> dead code.

  drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/psb_intel_sdvo.c:        switch (sdvo->controlled_output) {
  drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/psb_intel_sdvo.c:                psb_intel_sdvo->controlled_output |= SDVO_OUTPUT_TMDS0;

  drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_debugfs.c:      ret = late_init_minor(dev->control);

Not an oops but dead code.

  drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_debugfs.c:                               qdev->ddev->control->debugfs_root,
  drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_debugfs.c:                               qdev->ddev->control);
  drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_debugfs.c:                                       qdev->ddev->control);

Oops.


I'll send compile-only tested patches either tonight or tomorrow. Shall
they cover the oopses only or the dead code as well?


Thanks,

Nicolai
