> Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdgpu: drop drm_firmware_drivers_only()
>
> There are a number of systems and cloud providers out there
> that have nomodeset hardcoded in their kernel parameters
> to block nouveau for the nvidia driver. This prevents the
> amdgpu driver from loading. Unfortunately the end user cannot
> easily change this. The preferred way to block modules from
> loading is to use modprobe.blacklist=<driver>. That is what
> providers should be using to block specific drivers.
>
> Drop the check to allow the driver to load even when nomodeset
> is specified on the kernel command line.
