Subject: [PATCH] drm/kms: allow drm_mode_group with no objects
Date: Mon,  4 Jul 2011 13:16:17 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309749377-8372-1-git-send-email-skeggsb@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>

Sometimes we could be controlling a device (such as an NVIDIA Tesla) that
has no crtcs/encoders/connectors.

One could argue that the driver should unset DRIVER_MODESET in this case,
but that changes a whole heap of the DRM's other behaviours, and it's much
easier to just be a modesetting driver without any outputs.
