Subject: [PATCH 4.17 28/46] drm/amdgpu: Dont default to DC support for Kaveri and older

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@....com>

commit d9fda248046ac035f18a6e663f2f9245b4bf9470 upstream.

We've had a number of users report failures to detect and light up
display with DC with LVDS and VGA. These connector types are not
currently supported with DC. I'd like to add support but unfortunately
don't have a system with LVDS or VGA available.

In order not to cause regressions we should probably fallback to the
non-DC driver for ASICs that support VGA and LVDS.

These ASICs are:
 * Bonaire
 * Kabini
 * Kaveri
 * Mullins

ASIC support can always be force enabled with amdgpu.dc=1

v2: Keep Hawaii on DC
v3: Added Mullins to the list
