John,
i gave your code a short review and found nothing worth a note.
In other words, if there is a problem at all
then i've overlooked that due to the speed i browsed it.
One thing to ask you: there is always those secondary PCI ID
on the current Radeon designs. Do you see some chance to get
rid of irritating logfile messages that concern those 2nd ID.
I currently do think of this operation for DRM(probe):
return 0 => device not supported by this driver
return 1 => device is supported by this driver
return 2 => device is not useable and must be
forecfully ignored in probing.
What do you think?
-Alex.
