Hi,

thank you for adding the explanations in the commit messages I asked
for. It is now up to DRM maintainers to determine if this is
conceptually fine.

I do see that apparently setting the opt-in option does not yet taint
the kernel although Daniel Vetter suggested it might be a good idea. I
guess tainting the kernel would make it easier to remove this feature
in the future because it would be easier to dismiss people that claim a
kernel regression due to the removal.


Thanks,
pq
