Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] drm_hyperv: Remove support for synth video protocol of old Hyper-V hosts
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 13:37:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805203751.2678-5-mhklinux@outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805203751.2678-1-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.
Signed-off-by: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@outlook.com>

Changes in v2:
* Removed now unused function hv_drm_version_ge() and field
synthvid_version. While it's posssible that these might be needed
again if a new synthetic frame buffer protocol version is introduced,
my sense is that this is not an area of active development on the
Hyper-V side, so a new protocol version is less likely. The
function/field can be added back when/if needed. [Sashiko]
