Repeating my other comment, should this rather be protected by a 
separate config symbol that is selected by CONFIG_DRM?

Best regards

This is a subtle functional change. With this, you'll always have
__setup("nomodeset", text_mode) builtin and the parameter available. And
using nomodeset will print out the pr_warn() splat from text_mode(). But
removing nomodeset will have no impact if CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n as that
leads to vgacon_text_force() always returning false.

To not make functional changes, this should be:

obj-$(CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) += drm_nomodeset.o

Now, going with the cleanup in this series, maybe we should make the
functional change, and break the connection to CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE
altogether, also in the header?

(Maybe we'll also need a proxy drm kconfig option to only have
drm_modeset.o builtin when CONFIG_DRM != n.)

As said, maybe the CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE ifdef should be dropped.

Also, this seems like a completely arbitrary choice of header to place
this.

Please remove all such error messages from drivers. 
drm_modeset_disabled() should print a unified message instead.

I suggest to rename this function to drm_check_modeset() and have it 
return a negative errno code on failure. This gives maximum flexibility 
and reduces errors in drivers. Right now the drivers return something 
like -EINVAL, which seems wrong. Returning -ENODEV seems more appropriate.

There's too much churn here IMHO. Please merge patches 2+3 and 4+5. And 
I'd put patch (4+5) first, so you have the drivers out of the way. After 
that patch (2+3) should only modify drm_drv_enabled().

Best regards
Thomas
