    drm/lease: Send a distinct uevent · ce858828
    Daniel Vetter authored
    Sending the exact same hotplug event is not great uapi. Luckily the
    only already merged implementation of leases (in the -modesetting
    driver) doesn't care about what kind of uevent it gets, and
    unconditionally processes both hotplug and lease changes. So we can
    still adjust the uapi here.
    
    But e.g. weston tries to filter stuff, and I guess others might want
    to do that too. Try to make that possible. Cc: stable since it's uapi
    adjustement that we want to roll out everywhere.
    
    Michel Dänzer mentioned on irc that -amdgpu also has lease support. It
    has the same code flow as -modesetting though, so we can still go
    ahead.
    
    v2: Mention -amdgpu (Michel)
