Ok, I've rephrased the kerneldoc to refer to "client" instead of "GPU"
and moved the single existing check in an if block for
PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA devices.

In principle there's no harm in registering the client first,
then checking if probing should be deferred, as long as the
client is unregistered before deferring. Thus the language
above is intentionally "need not" (muss nicht) rather than
"must not" (darf nicht). I didn't want to mandate something
that isn't actually required. The above sentence is merely
an aid for driver developers who might be confused in which
order to call what.

I'm afraid that wouldn't be a good idea. The ->probe hook is
potentially called dozens of times during boot until it finally
succeeds and vga_switcheroo_register_client() is usually called
in a fairly late driver load stage. In i915, we already have a
working GEM at that point and an almost fully brought up GPU.
Repeating bring up and tear down dozens of times is a nice
stress test but nothing I'd inflict on production systems.
I imagine it would also severely impact boot time and
clutter the kernel log.
So a separate helper seems to be the only sensible option.

Ok, I've moved that to a comment.
Updated patch follows after the scissors & perforation.
Thanks for the feedback!

Subject: [PATCH] vga_switcheroo: Allow clients to determine whether to defer
probing
So far we've got one condition when DRM drivers need to defer probing
on a dual GPU system and it's coded separately into each of the relevant
drivers. As suggested by Daniel Vetter, deduplicate that code in the
drivers and move it to a new vga_switcheroo helper. This yields better
encapsulation of concepts and lets us add further checks in a central
place. (The existing check pertains to pre-retina MacBook Pros and an
additional check is expected to be needed for retinas.)
v2: This helper could eventually be used by audio clients as well,
so rephrase kerneldoc to refer to "client" instead of "GPU"
and move the single existing check in an if block specific
to PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA devices. Move documentation on
that check from kerneldoc to a comment. (Daniel Vetter)
