Seamless boot allows keeping the content on the framebuffer from pre-boot
so the screen doesn't get "painted black" during boot process.
Ideally the flow looks like:
* UEFI F/W posts vendor logo
* GRUB doesn't show anything, but silently continues
* Plymouth starts and adds OS logo to bottom and spinner
* Simple DRM loads, no mode changes
* amdgpu loads, no mode changes
* Spinner keeps spinning
* GDM starts up
Previously this was only enabled on Van Gogh, but this series enables
the functionality more widely onto APUs that support IP discovery.
This also introduces a kernel module parameter that to easily force it
enabled on other ASICs too, which may be useful to adjust policy.
Mario Limonciello (4):
drm/amd: Drop special case for yellow carp without discovery
drm/amd: Move seamless boot check out of display
drm/amd: Add a module parameter for seamless boot
drm/amd: Enable seamless boot by default on newer APUs
