The VGA arbiter selects a default VGA device that is enabled and reachable via the legacy VGA resources (mem 0xa0000-0xbffff, io 0x3b0-0x3bb, io 0x3c0-0x3df, etc).
(As a special case for x86 and IA64, this can be overridden by EFI.)
If there is no such device, e.g., because there's no enabled VGA device, the host bridge doesn't support access to those legacy resources, or a PCI-PCI bridge doesn't have VGA Enable set, a platform may select an arbitrary device by calling pci_set_default_display(). powerpc does this, for example.
If there is also no platform hook, there will be no default device nominated. This is not necessarily what we want.
Add handling for devices that aren't handled by the vga arbiter or platform by adding a late initcall and a class enable hook. If there is no default from vgaarb or the platform then the first VGA card that is enabled, has a driver bound, and can decode memory or I/O will be marked as default.
This means single-card setups on systems without access to legacy areas and without arch hooks will work. Multi-card setups on these systems will nominate an arbitrary device, rather than no devices.

v3:
Split out from re-organisation for simplicity. Add better description and better documentaion.
Thanks to (in no particular order), Daniel Vetter, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Ard Biesheuvel and Dave Airlie. Special thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt and Bjorn Helgass, whose prose I have borrowed.
v1:
Tested on: - x86_64 laptop - arm64 D05 board with hibmc card - qemu powerpc with tcg and bochs std-vga
I know this adds another config option and that's a bit sad, but we can't include it unconditionally as it depends on PCI. Suggestions welcome. --- drivers/gpu/vga/default_display.c | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 77 insertions(+)
