Since commit b30324adaf8d ("drm/i915: Deprecated UMS support") we've silently failed the probe, without propagating errors, on nomodeset and i915.modeset=0. This has been to not upset userspace. See the above commit for details.
Since then, we've removed both the UMS and KMS kconfig options in commit 03dae59c72ff ("drm/i915: Ditch UMS config option") and commit fd930478fb79 ("drm/i915: Remove KMS Kconfig option") respectively. Another ten years or so have passed. Continue with the deprecation by actually failing the probe with nomodeset and i915.modeset=0.
