Not 100% sure but I think you do. At least every other driver does...

Why: I'm thinking that without DRM_AUTH one will be able to open the
card# node and issue the said IOCTLs even if the client is not
authenticated. Which, obviously isn't a huge deal, but doesn't sound
right.

Then again, my knowledge of vc4 is virtually non-existent, so there
might be something special happening here ?
