Return 2 so we can be sure the kernel has the necessary changes for acceleration to work.
I highly dislike that ? Why about just using nop2 in userspace ?
How to we tell whether the version of mesa has that change or not?
You do not need to know that in kernel, all that is needed is for userspace to test 3.16 kernel as it's all that is needed to get accel working. So i would say enable accel on ddx now because truly if someone update its ddx then it must have updated mesa too.
Also, packet2 nops are deprecated so may not work in future firmwares if we end up updating them again.
I do not want to go into discussion on closed source firmware, if they offer no API stability i would consider that utterly broken.
It is stable within a generation. The packet 2 nops were deprecated for CI which is way we switched all the CI parts to use the new packet 3 nop. I must have inadvertently grabbed an old version of the hawaii firmware when I initially released it.
