[PATCH 1/3] drm: Expose a method for creating anonymous struct file around drm_minor

[Chris Wilson]

Sometimes we need to create a struct file to wrap a drm_device, as it
the user were to have opened /dev/dri/card0 but to do so anonymously
(i.e. for internal use). Provide a utility method to create a struct
file with the drm_device->driver.fops, that wrap the drm_device.
