Ville Syrjälä 05ebac0980 drm/uapi: Deprecate DRM_MODE_FLAG_BCAST
Reject any mode with DRM_MODE_FLAG_BCAST. We have no code that even
checks for this flag hence it can't possibly do any good.

I think this maybe originated from fbdev where it was supposed to
indicate PAL/NTSC broadcast timings. I have no idea why those would
have to be identified by a flag rather than by just the timings
themselves. And then I assume it got copied into xfree86 for
fbdevhw, and later on it leaked into the randr protocol and kms uapi.

Since kms fbdev emulation never uses the corresponding fbdev flag
there should be no sane way for this to come back into kms via
userspace either.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
