    drm/nouveau: Set DRIVER_ATOMIC cap earlier to fix debugfs · eb493fbc
    Lyude Paul authored
    Currently nouveau doesn't actually expose the state debugfs file that's
    usually provided for any modesetting driver that supports atomic, even
    if nouveau is loaded with atomic=1. This is due to the fact that the
    standard debugfs files that DRM creates for atomic drivers is called
    when drm_get_pci_dev() is called from nouveau_drm.c. This happens well
    before we've initialized the display core, which is currently
    responsible for setting the DRIVER_ATOMIC cap.
    
    So, move the atomic option into nouveau_drm.c and just add the
    DRIVER_ATOMIC cap whenever it's enabled on the kernel commandline. This
    shouldn't cause any actual issues, as the atomic ioctl will still fail
    as expected even if the display core doesn't disable it until later in
    the init sequence. This also provides the added benefit of being able to
    use the state debugfs file to check the current display state even if
    clients aren't allowed to modify it through anything other than the
    legacy ioctls.
    
    Additionally, disable the DRIVER_ATOMIC cap in nv04's display core, as
    this was already disabled there previously.
