tbh I'd call these hooks simply register/unregister. There shouldn't be
any need for ordering every with interface registration/unregistartion,
assuming drivers don't fumble things.

Besides naming&kerneldoc (see below) lgtm as an idea.

Slight bikeshedding of the kerneldoc:

"This optional hook can be used to register additional userspace
interfaces attached to the connector, like backlight control, i2c, dp aux
or similar interfaces. It is called from drm_connector_register() when
registering all the core drm connector interfaces. Everything added from
this callback should be unregistered in the unregister() callback.

"Returns:

"0 on success or a negative failure code on error."

Similar bikeshed with unregister, i.e. state that it is optional, and that
is just to unregister additional interfaces.

Please add () to drm_connector_unregister() so you end up with a hyperlink.
