At this point, there's really not much point to even having the rm. It's just
another level of indirection that IMO complicates the code. If you look
at the usage of hw_blks, the code is always looking at a specific type of
hw_blk, so the array is unnecessary.

dpu_kms could just keep a few arrays/lists of the hw types, and the crtc and encoder
reserve functions can just go in crtc/encoder.
