[PATCH] gpu: host1x: Allow loading tegra-drm without enabled engines

[Mikko Perttunen]

From: Vamsee Vardhan Thummala <vthummala at nvidia.com>

Add support to register host1x devices without requiring subdevices.
This ensures syncpoint functionality remains available even when engine
subdevices are not present.

Add softdep for tegra-drm to make userspace interface available
without module autoloading through device tree entries.
