Linux kernel source tree
01ad1d9c28
Right now, radeon is technically the only non-atomic driver still making use of the MST helpers - and thus the final user of all of the legacy MST helpers. Originally I was going to look into seeing if we could move legacy MST into the radeon driver itself, however: * SI and CIK both can use amdgpu, which still supports MST * It currently doesn't work according to my own testing. I'm sure with some troubleshooting we could likely fix it, but that brings me to point #2: * It was never actually enabled by default, and is still marked as experimental in the module parameter description * If people were using it, someone probably would have probably seen a bug report about how it is currently not functional by now. That certainly doesn't appear to be the case, since before getting access to my own hardware I had to go out of my way to try finding someone to help test whether this legacy MST code even works - even amongst AMD employees. * Getting rid of this code and only having atomic versions of the MST helpers to maintain is likely going to be a lot easier in the long run, and will make it a lot easier for others contributing to this code to follow along with what's happening. FWIW - if anyone still wants this code to be in the tree and has a good idea of how to support this without needing to maintain the legacy MST helpers (trying to move them would probably be acceptable), I'm happy to suggestions. But my hope is that we can just drop this code and forget about it. I've already run this idea by Harry Wentland and Alex Deucher a few times as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
