Thierry Reding cce91f29c0 drm/fbdev-client: Skip DRM clients if modesetting is absent
Recent generations of Tegra have moved the display components outside of
host1x, leading to a device that has no CRTCs attached and hence doesn't
support any of the modesetting functionality. When this is detected, the
driver clears the DRIVER_MODESET and DRIVER_ATOMIC flags for the device.

Unfortunately, this causes the following errors during boot:

    [      15.418958] ERR KERN drm drm: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to register client: -95
    [      15.425311] WARNING KERN drm drm: [drm] Failed to set up DRM client; error -95

These originate from the fbdev client checking for the presence of the
DRIVER_MODESET flag and returning -EOPNOTSUPP. However, if a driver does
not support DRIVER_MODESET this is entirely expected and the error isn't
helpful.

Prevent this misleading error message by setting up the DRM clients only
if modesetting is enabled.

Changes in v2:
- use DRIVER_MODESET check to avoid registering any clients

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
