As drm_dev_register() now registers all of the connectors anyway,
there's no need to explicitly do it in individual drivers so remove
the calls to drm_connector_register()/drm_connector_unregister().

This allows componentised drivers to use tda998x without having racy
initialisation.

Is there a corresponding patch for armada-drm so that the cubox doesn't
regress?  Has it already been merged?


A patch for armada-drm to do what?

I should perhaps have explicitly mentioned that this change depends
on e28cd4d0a223: "drm: Automatically register/unregister all
connectors", which is in drm-next.

Like my commit message says - after the above commit, all connectors
are automatically registered in drm_dev_register() - so I don't
anticipate any regression, but I don't have a cubox to test.

armada-drm seems to be doing effectively the same thing as arm/hdlcd,
which works fine after this patch with no other changes.

Let me know if I've missed something; or if you are able to test on
cubox that would be great.

Thanks,
Brian
