Also it introduces drm_writeback_connector_cleanup(). Ideally that
should be a separate commit with a proper description. You should also
document that existing users should call that function (and maybe add a
WARN_ON that can check if the function wasn't called).
Last, but not least, please don't add API without a user. Please switch
at least one driver into using this API.
