drm/sysfs: Nuke TV/DVI property files
This goes all the way back to the original KMS commit aeons ago commit f453ba04 Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Fri Nov 7 14:05:41 2008 -0800 DRM: add mode setting support But it seems to be completely unused. Only i915 and nouveau even register these properties, and the corresponding DDX don't even look at them. Also the sysfs files are read-only, so not useful to configure anything. I suspect that this was added with the goal to have read-only access to all properties in sysfs, but we never followed through on that. Also, that should be done in a more generic fashion. Since it would be real work to fix up the locking (with atomic we're now chasing pointers when reading properties) and it seems unused lets just nuke this all. It's easier. Of course we'll keep the properties themselves, those are still exposed through the KMS ioctls.
