Yeah I think we need to keep the registered state separate from unplugged.
Iirc this exact scenario is what we discussed when you revamped the
unplug infrastructure.

Read once more with a bit more coffee, spotted this:

s/first/afterwards/ - shutting down the hw before we've taken it away from
userspace is kinda the wrong way round. It should be the inverse of driver
load, which is 1) allocate structures 2) prep hw 3) register driver with
the world (simplified ofc).

I think it'd be good to keep the first part, and just update the reference
to drm_dev_unregister. So:

 * This function can be called to check whether a hotpluggable is unplugged.
 * Unplugging itself is singalled through drm_dev_unregister(). If a device is
 * unplugged, these two functions guarantee that any store before calling
 * drm_dev_unregister() is visible to callers of this function after it
 * completes.

I think your version shrugs a few important details under the rug. With
those nits addressed:
