Move the nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video to make it available to non-DRM drivers. Adapt the interface, but keep the DRM interface drm_firmware_drivers_only() to avoid churn within DRM. The function should later be inlined into callers. The parameter disables any DRM graphics driver that would replace a driver for firmware-provided scanout buffers. It is an option to easily fallback to basic graphics output if the hardware's native driver is broken. Moving it to a more prominent location wil make it available to fbdev as well. v2: * clarify the meaning of the nomodeset parameter (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221111133024.9897-2-tzimmermann@suse.de
