Drive-by comment: You can't allocate anything with devm_* functions that represents a core drm struct attached to a drm_device. There's no struct device anywhere that has the right lifetime (since the drm_device can easily outlive any physical device). Yes that makes roughly 100% of all armsoc drm drivers buggy :-/ But it doesn't matter, since you can't really unplug those devices physically, hence will only blow up if you force an unbind through sysfs, and then you get to keep all the pieces.
