LoongArch systems with hybrid graphics (integrated +
discrete GPU) can benefit from the same GPU switching
mechanism that x86 laptops use. Relax the dependency
to allow VGA_SWITCHEROO to be built on LoongArch,
consistent with the existing dependencies on ACPI,
PCI, and FB=y.

Thanks for your review, I will fix this.

I'm a bit skeptical if that's all there is to do. Does loongarch
really work with the existing handlers in the graphics drivers
as-is? See [1] for the interface that implements the actual switching.

Thanks, I will carefully check whether all these
vga_switcheroo_handler callbacks are supported on the LoongArch
platform.
Switcheroo used to be required for x86 notebooks from ~2010. Those
systems had two graphics cards, but only one set of output connectors.
That design is become rare, I think.
So I'm a bit surprised to see it come back. Which loongarch systems
are there?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
On the Loongson platform, we don't have the "two GPUs but only one set
of display outputs" scenario you described. However, we do have systems
where an integrated GPU and a discrete GPU coexist.
We would like to use the vga_switcheroo interface to switch between the
discrete GPU (DIS) and the integrated GPU (IGD), and to configure the
default VGA device.
Would this approach be feasible? Do you have any suggestions or
recommendations?
