[PATCH] drm: uapi: Add macro for chipset specific event ID region
From: Bence Csokas
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 12:44:21 EST
uapi/drm/drm.h states:
Event types 0 - 0x7fffffff are generic DRM events, 0x80000000 and
up are chipset specific.
However, this distinction was not put in the code. To elevate the contract
between the generic DRM framework and the driver from the comment to code,
put this in a macro for clarity and convenience.
