This is only used by drm_irq_install(), which is an optional helper.
For legacy pci devices this is required (due to interrupt sharing without
msi/msi-x), and just making this the default exactly matches the behaviour
of all existing drivers using the drm_irq_install() helpers. In case that
ever becomes wrong drivers can roll their own irq handling, as many
drivers already do (for other reasons like needing a threaded interrupt
handler, or having an entire pile of different interrupt sources).

History
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.
