commit aff2299e0d81b26304ccc6a1ec0170e437f38efc upstream. Nouveau does not currently support hot-unplugging, but it still makes sense to switch from drm_dev_unregister() to drm_dev_unplug(). drm_dev_unplug() calls drm_dev_unregister() after marking the device as unplugged, but only after any device critical sections are finished. Since nouveau isn't using drm_dev_enter() and drm_dev_exit(), there are no critical sections so this is nearly functionally equivalent. However, the DRM layer does check to see if the device is unplugged, and if it is returns appropriate error codes. In the future nouveau can add critical sections in order to truly support hot-unplugging.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
