There is a lot of historical baggage on this parameter. It is defined in
the vgacon driver as nomodeset, but its set function is called text_mode()
and the value queried with a function named vgacon_text_force().
All this implies that it's about forcing text mode for VGA, yet it is not
used in neither vgacon nor other console driver. The only users for these
are DRM drivers, that check for the vgacon_text_force() return value to
determine whether the driver should be loaded or not.
That makes it quite confusing to read the code, because the variables and
function names don't reflect what they actually do and also are not in the
same subsystem as the drivers that make use of them.
This patch-set attempts to cleanup the code by moving the nomodseset param
to the DRM subsystem and do some renaming to make their intention clearer.
There is also another aspect that could be improved, and is the fact that
drivers are checking for the nomodeset being set as an indication if have
to be loaded.
But there may be other reasons why this could be the case, so it is better
to encapsulate the logic in a separate function to make clear what's about.
This is a v2 of the patches, that address the issues pointed out by Thomas
Zimmermann and Jani Nikula in v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/T/
Patch #1 adds a drm_drv_enabled() function that could be used by drivers to
check if these could be enabled, instead of just using vgacon_text_force().
Patch #2 moves the nomodeset logic to the DRM subsystem and renames the
functions and variables to better explain what these actually do.
Changes in v2:
- Squash patch to add drm_drv_enabled() and make drivers use it.
- Make the drivers changes before moving nomodeset logic to DRM.
- Make drm_drv_enabled() return an errno and -ENODEV if nomodeset.
- Remove debug and error messages in drivers.
- Conditionally build drm_nomodeset.o if CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE is set.
- Squash patches to move nomodeset logic to DRM and do the renaming.
- Name the function drm_check_modeset() and make it return -ENODEV.

2.33.1
The "nomodeset" kernel cmdline parameter is handled by the vgacon driver
but the exported vgacon_text_force() symbol is only used by DRM drivers.
It makes much more sense for the parameter logic to be in the subsystem
of the drivers that are making use of it.
Let's move the vgacon_text_force() function and related logic to the DRM
subsystem. While doing that, rename the function to drm_check_modeset()
which better reflects what the function is really used to test for.

This now depends on the VGA textmode console. Even if you have no VGA
console, you'd want drm_nomodeset.o. Simpledrm might be built-in and can
provide graphics. Non-PC systems don't even have a VGA device.
I think we really want a separate boolean config option that gets
selected by CONFIG_DRM.

Agreed. I was planning to do it as a follow-up as well and drop the
#ifdef CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE guard in the header.

Same, since we want to drop the fbdev drivers in Fedora, for all arches.

Sure, make it a separate patch.
We want to make this work on ARM systems. I even have a request to
replace offb on Power architecture by simpledrm. So the final config has
to be system agnostic.

This is indeed quite sensational. But think we can do it as a follow-up patch.
Since we will have to stick with nomodeset for backward compatibility, I was
planning to add documentation to explain what this parameter is about and what
is the actual effect of setting it.
So I think we can change this as a part of that patch-set.
