Well I don't know the full background, but that is usually a no-go.

Maybe I'm repeating others, but I wanted to point it out explicitly: 
This is intentional and not that easily changeable.

If it's a common DRM property, e.g. something standardized among all 
drivers, then amdgpu is not allowed to circumvent that.
