Quoting Rodrigo Vivi (2018-02-14 22:42:05) > We now have a stable cnl on our CI and it seems mostly > green without big risks of blank screen or anything > blowing up on linux installations in the future. > > As a reminder i915.alpha_support was created to protect > future linux installation's iso images that might contain a > kernel from the enabling time of the new platform. Without this > protection most of linux installation was recommending > nomodeset option during installation that was getting stick > there after installation. > > Specifically, alpha support says nothing about the development > state of the hardware, and everything about the state of the > driver in a kernel release. > > This is semantically no different from the old > preliminary_hw_support flag, but the old one was all too often > interpreted as (preliminary hw) support instead of the intended > (preliminary) hw support, and it was misleading for everyone. > Hence the rename. > > v2: Fix the typos and include more history about the parameter > rename on commit message.
