In the past we had a pile of hacks to orchestrate access between fbdev
emulation and native kms clients. We've tried to streamline this, by
always preferring the kms side above fbdev calls when a drm master
exists, because drm master controls access to the display resources.
Unfortunately this breaks existing userspace, specifically Xorg. When
exiting Xorg first restores the console to text mode using the KDSET
ioctl on the vt. This does nothing, because a drm master is still
around. Then it drops the drm master status, which again does nothing,
because logind is keeping additional drm fd open to be able to
orchestrate vt switches. In the past this is the point where fbdev was
restored, as part of the ->lastclose hook on the drm side.
Now to fix this regression we don't want to go back to letting fbdev
restore things whenever it feels like, or to the pile of hacks we've
had before. Instead try and go with a minimal exception to make the
KDSET case work again, and nothing else.
This means that if userspace does a KDSET call when switching between
graphical compositors, there will be some flickering with fbcon
showing up for a bit. But a) that's not a regression and b) userspace
can fix it by improving the vt switching dance - logind should have
all the information it needs.
While pondering all this I'm also wondering wheter we should have a
SWITCH_MASTER ioctl to allow race-free master status handover. But
that's for another day.
v2: Somehow forgot to cc all the fbdev people.
v3: Fix typo Alex spotted.

BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is already tristate, but a dependency
FB_BACKLIGHT prevents it from being built as a module. There
doesn't seem to be any particularly good reason for this, so
switch FB_BACKLIGHT over to tristate.

license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
