Subject: [PATCH 00/10] vga_switcheroo, drm: Push fbcon handling into DRM clients
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 15:38:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707135724.247562-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)

Vga_switcheroo currently invokes fb_switch_outputs() to inform fbcon
about switching of the physical outputs among framebuffer devices. But
new DRM clients to not use fbdev/fbcon and might require their own
vga_switcheroo support. Let's strictly separate them from each other.

Remove fbdev/fbcon from vga_switcheroo. Introduce a pre_switch callback
for vga_switcheroo clients to do the fbcon update. Allows for removing
all direct interactions between vga_switcheroo and fbdev/fbcon.

Also replace the existing reprobe hook with post_switch for symetry.

At the same time, push the fbcon update into DRM's client for fbdev
emulation. Do this with the new DRM client callback acquire_outputs,
so that other clients can have their own handling of vga_switcheroo.

There are only four drivers that support vga_switcheroo: amdgpu,
radeon, i915 and nouveau. Update each of them with the new callbacks.
When vga_switcheroo now invokes pre_switch, each DRM driver forwards
to aquire_outputs and lets the DRM clients handle the new outputs.

Tested with radeon on a notebook with Radeon HD 4225 and HD 5430.

Thomas Zimmermann (10):
  drm/edid: Include <linux/fb.h>
  drm/client: Add acquire_outputs callback; implement for fbdev
    emulation
  vga_switcheroo: Add pre_switch callback to client ops
  vga_switcheroo: Add post_switch callback to client ops
  drm/amdgpu: Implement struct vga_switcheroo_client_ops.pre_switch
