So my understanding is that we need to shut down all hdcp usage before
master_unbind completes, because otherwise we'll blow up: The mei_hdcp
component is gone already.

Now the other case for master_unbind is that the i915 pci device is
unloaded, and in that case again I think it makes sense to shut down the
hardware in master_unbind.

Now when I looked at v7, right after the component_unbind code in the i915
unload sequences comes the function calls to shut down the hardware. I
think it would make sense to them (or at least the
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() call) into master_unbind.

This is somewhat asymetric, but that's ok: Load path doesn't enable
anything, we just keep the hardware as-is (to be able to support
flicker-free boôt-up). First modest is done by usersapce. Exception is if
you have fbcon enabled (and not use the fastboot patches that Hans just
merged), in that case the kernel will do the first modeset when we
regiseter the fbdev device.

Anyway, moving the drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() into the master_unbind
function in v7 should take care of disabling all outputs, and hence also
disabling all usage of hdcp component.
