Please record the justitication for that patch in its commit message. "Can't" does not explain anything.
Yeah, sorry about that. I'm just annoyed by all of this get_connector uAPI, so I don't really want to spend a lot of time documenting why it's so gross.
But I still don't understand why the kernel cannot be fixed to do the right thing that most of us assumed it should be doing: probe automatically so userspace never needs to.
My understanding is that it could maybe be implemented this way, but that it's not the way it works right now. So someone would need to go through all DRM drivers and implement the better behavior, then could restore this doc section.
