[PATCH] drm/irq: remove check on dev->dev_private

[Jani Nikula]

There is no real reason to require drivers to set and use
dev->dev_private. Indeed, the current recommendation, as documented in
drm_device.h, is to embed struct drm_device in the per-device struct
instead of using dev_private.

Remove the requirement for dev_private to have been set to indicate
driver initialization.

Any ideas for something else drm_irq_install() could/should check to
ensure "Driver must have been initialized"?

There are only a few instances of dev_private uses in i915, also to be
removed, and we could stop initializing dev_private altogether. We could
in fact do that without this patch too, as we don't use
drm_irq_install(). But it would be cleaner to not have any checks for
driver private stuff outside of drivers.
