No, the tegradrm driver object might be registered by tegradrm's module
init, but the dummy tegradrm platform device would need to be
created/registered by host1x's probe. Otherwise, the device would get
created even if there was no host1x/... in the system (disabled for some
reason, multi-SoC kernel, ...)
