[PATCH 2/4] drm/i2c: tda998x: Remove obsolete drm_connector_register() call

[Brian Starkey]

Hi Jyri,

I believe this will break mali-dp and hdlcd, unless something changed
while I wasn't looking. Please see this previous thread where I did
the same thing and then had to have it reverted: [1]

Before removing this, we need to refactor (at least) mali-dp and hdlcd
to move drm_dev_register() to the end of their ->bind() callback.

That could be done without moving drm_dev_unregister() to the start
of ->unbind() if you really want to nuke the drm_connector_register()
call, but to maintain symmetry (and introduce correctness) I was
putting it off until I had a chance to remove drm_vblank_cleanup()
from drm_dev_unregister() (because [2]).

Thanks,
Brian
