I've quickly checked current callsites of drm_fb_helper_init and I think
you can just kill the two arguments crtc_count and max_conn_count. All
drivers pass in the actual crtc count for the first and some midly bogus
constant for the latter.

i915 and radeon also use that constant to attach some struct drm_connector
* pointers to the end of their crtc, which looks rather unused. You might
want to kill that, too.
