Yes. Changing drm_crtc::dev was some effort, so I thought to send that
one out before doing the same to

	drm_dp_mst_topology_mgr
	drm_atomic_state
	drm_master
	drm_bridge
	drm_client_dev
	drm_connector
	drm_debugfs_entry
	drm_encoder
	drm_fb_helper
	drm_minor
	drm_framebuffer
	drm_gem_object
	drm_plane
	drm_property
	drm_property_blob
	drm_vblank_crtc

when in the end the intention isn't welcome.

"drm" at least has the advantage to be the 2nd most common name. With
Paul Kocialkowski prefering "drm_dev" there is no clear favourite yet.
Maybe all the other people with strong opinions are dead if this was
"discussed to death" before? :-)

Best regards
