Thomas Zimmermann a22461edda drm/radeon: Do not implement mode_set_base_atomic callback
Remove the implementation of the CRTC helper mode_set_base_atomic
from radeon. It pretends to provide mode setting for kdb debugging,
but has been broken for some time.

Kdb output has been supported only for non-atomic mode setting since
commit 9c79e0b1d0 ("drm/fb-helper: Give up on kgdb for atomic drivers")
from 2017.

While radeon provides non-atomic mode setting, kdb assumes that the GEM
buffer object is at a fixed location in video memory. This assumption
currently blocks radeon from converting to generic fbdev emulation.
Fbdev-ttm helpers use a shadow buffer with a movable GEM buffer object.
Triggering kdb does therefore not update the display.

Another problem is that the current implementation does not handle
USB keyboard input. Therefore a serial terminal is required. Then when
continuing from the debugger, radeon fails with an error:

and the system hangs.

Support for kdb feels pretty much broken. Hence remove the whole kdb
support from radeon.

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 reStructuredText 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.
