The summary talks about drmAuth, yet exposes a render node. Even
through there's no rendering engine in the HW, as mentioned by Eric.

AFAICT the only way drmAuth is relevant with pl111 is when you want to
export/import dma bufs.
Although that is handled in core and the artificial DRM_AUTH
restriction has been lifted with commit [1].
