I think those are all for other purposes. What we want here is that
some interface things binds to something else. I was thinking sysfs
paths to the underlying struct device (i.e. the one in
drm_device->dev) might be neater, since that's more unique. Using
minors we get that entire trouble of having duplicates (and in the
past triplicatres) due to our uapi-flavors. But in sysfs there's only
one underlying device.
Anyway if there's no precedence and Greg doesn't have ideas either
then I guess we can just go with minor ids. It's about as good as
anything else really.
