Just a quick comment on calling the ->driver_load callback: I plan to
look again my "kill drm midlayer" series so that drivers are in full
control of the load sequence. Then they could do whatever delayed
loading the need to do by calling into optional helpers (hopefully
shared with asoc and v4l and other aggregate devices madness) and the
drm core simply does not need to care: The driver only
registers/allocates the drm_device once it's ready to do so.
