The current X server infrastructure sets modesetting driver as default driver
to handle PCI-hotplug of a GPU device. This prevents the respective DDX driver
(like AMDGPU DDX driver) to take control of the card.
This patch:
- Adds a few functions and fine-tunes the GPU hotplug infrastructure to allow
the DDX driver to be loaded, if it is configured in the X config file
options as "hotplug-driver".
- Scans and updates the PCI device list before adding the new GPU device
in platform, so that the association of the platform device and PCI device
is in place (dev->pdev).
- Adds documentation of this new option
An example usage in the config file would look like:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
HotplugDriver "amdgpu"
EndSection
V2:
Fixed typo in commit message (Martin)
Added R-B from Adam.
Added ACK from Alex and Martin.
V3:
Added an output class based approach for finding the DDX driver (Aaron)
Rebase
V4:
Addressed review comment from Aaron:
GPU hot-plug handling driver's name to be read from the DDX config file options.
In this way only the DDX drivers interested in handling GPU hot-plug will be
picked and loaded, for others modesetting driver will be used as usual.
V5:
Addressed review comments from Aaron:
- X config option to be listed in CamelCase.
- Indentation fix at one place.
- Code readability related optimization.
V6:
Addressed review comments from Aaron:
- Squash the doc in the same patch
- Doc formatting changes

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
