Many DRM drivers feature a 'modeset' argument, which can be used to enable/disable the entire driver (as opposed to passing nomodeset to the kernel, which would disable modesetting globally and make it difficult to load amdgpu afterwards). Apparently amdgpu is actually missing this however, so let's add it!
Keep in mind that this currently just lets one enable or disable amdgpu, I haven't bothered adding a headless mode like nouveau has - however I'm sure someone else can add this if needed.

You can already do that by passing modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu on the kernel command line. I don't think we need another option to do that.
Keep in mind that this currently just lets one enable or disable amdgpu, I haven't bothered adding a headless mode like nouveau has - however I'm sure someone else can add this if needed.
You can do this as well by passing an IP block mask which disables the display IP, or media IP, etc.

Yeah, this already came up multiple times and so far we have always rejected it.
Stuffing that into drivers is not a good approach I think. If we want to prevent some device from exposing it's display functionalities we should rather push that into the drm layer.

Absolutely agree on this. I think what we want is a drm.modeset parameter that would have more precedence than "nomodeset". Because the latter is a built-in parameter and so it can't be disabled at runtime using sysfs.

We have recently consolidated the handling of the modeset parameter in the macro drm_module_pci_driver_if_modeset(), [1] which has a deprecation warning in the docs. Only a few older drivers use modeset and we don't want to use it further.
Better alternatives are nomodeset or initcall_blacklist=amdgpu_init.
