Daniel Vetter explicitly wanted the ability to use the helper in vga_switcheroo audio clients, and those shouldn't run the apple-gmux test. I think it makes sense to enclose it in the above-quoted if-block *now* even though it's not needed. Once someone adds a check for an audio client, chances are they'll forget to add this if-block.
Absolutely no arguments against any of that. Having a helper makes sense even without any of the above arguments - it's a 'nasty looking' if statement, duplicated multiple times. Speaking of which ... shouldn't there be a similar hunk for amdgpu ?
Currently vga_switcheroo_client_probe_defer() is only needed for the MacBook Pro and the AMD GPUs used by Apple are only supported by radeon. I've amended the commit message in v6 to explain that.
Then again throwing everything into one patch does _not_ make sense. Don't know why people would insist on having re-factoring and functionality change as a single commit. Esp. in a place where hw combinations, and thus chances of things going wrong, are pretty high.
Noone insists, v1 of this patch didn't contain the functional change you're taking exception to, I added it in v2 on Daniel's request and didn't want to complicate things further, seemed like a trivial change to me. Nevertheless I've spun this out into a separate commit now, no problem at all.
Best regards,
