We have many situations where no drm_device is available.
At least when you a buried in drm_panel patches.

So it is either DRM_DEV_ERROR() or drv_err().
Which is why I have pushed for nicer drm_ variants of these...

The todo entry only covers the nice new macros that Jani added
where we have a drm_device.
