The only thing modern drivers are supposed to do in lastclose is restore the fb emulation state. Which is entirely optional, and there's really no reason to do that. So restrict it to legacy drivers (where the driver cleanup essentially happens in lastclose). This will also allow us to share the unregister function with drm_dev_unplug().

So I think there's 3 cases: - Trying to unload the module. You can't do that while anyone has the fd still open, so lastclose is guaranteeed to run. - Forcefully unbinding the driver through sysfs. Not any better, since the can_switch stuff checks for the open count, and so will delay the delayed switch no matter what. - Actual hotremoval: a) not implemented since none of the drivers taking part in vgaswitcheroo correctly unplug the drm device and b) you can't hotremove a chip from a laptop. v2: Extend commit message with m-l discussion.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
