[PATCH 4/5] drm: Add a drm_drv_enabled() helper function

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Wed Nov 03 2021 - 06:54:55 EST


DRM drivers can use this to determine whether they can be enabled or not.

For now it's just a wrapper around drm_modeset_disabled() but having the
indirection level will allow to add other conditions besides "nomodeset".
