The -modesetting ddx has a totally broken idea of how atomic works: - doesn't disable old connectors, assuming they get auto-disable like with the legacy setcrtc - assumes ASYNC_FLIP is wired through for the atomic ioctl - not a single call to TEST_ONLY
Iow the implementation is a 1:1 translation of legacy ioctls to atomic, which is a) broken b) pointless. We already have bugs in both i915 and amdgpu-DC where this prevents us from enabling neat features. If anyone ever cares about atomic in X we can easily add a new atomic level (req->value == 2) for X to get back the shiny toys. Since these broken versions of -modesetting have been shipping, there's really no other way to get out of this bind.
