Interesting - in drm effectively only drm panels implement .shutdown.
So my naive assumption was that .remove was used implicitly by core,
as part of the shutdown process. Yet that's not the case, so it seems
that many drivers could use some fixes.

Then again, that's an existing problem which is irrelevant for msm.
