Current default VGA device selection fails in some cases because part of it is done in the vga_arb_device_init() subsys_initcall, and some arches enumerate PCI devices in pcibios_init(), which runs *after* that.
The big change from the v8 posting is that this moves vgaarb.c from drivers/gpu/vga to drivers/pci because it really has nothing to do with GPUs or DRM.
I provisionally applied this to pci/vga and put it into -next just to get a little runtime on it.
But I'd prefer not to unilaterally yank this out of drivers/gpu without a consensus from the GPU folks that this is the right thing to do.
Any thoughts? If it seems OK to you, I think patch 1/11 (the move itself) is all you would need to look at, although of course I would still be grateful for any review and feedback on the rest.
After it's in drivers/pci, all the blame for any issues would come my way.
Ping? This has been in -next since the Feb 28 tree, and I plan to ask Linus to include it during the v5.18 merge window (which will probably open Mar 13) unless somebody objects.
