No, I think you can use sub driver. how about registering to exynos
drm core that driver using exynos_drm_subdrv_register function after
probed? Is there something I am missing?

And also, exynos drm core will call a probe callback of the sub driver
after _drm is initialized_. Is there something I am missing?
