DRM drivers with user-space mode setting have been removed in Linux
v6.3. [1] Now remove the ioctl entry points for these drivers. Invoking
any of the ioctl ops will unconditionally return -EINVAL to user space.
Invoking DRM_IOCTL_MODESET_CTL is different from the other legacy
ioctl ops as it returns 0 even without CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY set. From the
original commit 29935554b384 ("drm: Disallow DRM_IOCTL_MODESET_CTL for
KMS drivers") it is not apparent how or why the operation differs from
the others. It is likely just an oversight in commit 61ae227032e7
("drm: allow removal of legacy codepaths (v4.1)"), which allowed
disabling leagacy ioctls in the first place. Still keep this removal
separate from the other ioctls to allow an easy revert, if necessary.

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.
