In order to continue I propose to send out the following series:

1) minimal device and firmware abstractions only
2) v2 of all other device / driver, devres and PCI driver abstractions
3) v2 of basic DRM driver abstractions and Nova

The v2 series would contain static driver allocation (in case of DRM even const)
and quite a few more simplifications around `driver::Registration` and
`device::Data`.

Does that make sense?
