When using the .load() callback, driver initialization is performed from 
drm_dev_register() after the DRM device gets registered with sysfs. With this 
patch driver initialization is moved before drm_dev_register(), and 
registering connectors manually would then trigger a WARN due to the sysfs 
parent not being registered yet.

The connectors are registered by the DRM core (drm_modeset_register_all() 
called from drm_dev_register()), so there's no need to register them manually 
after drm_dev_register(), we can just drop that code.
