It's not about these old drivers, it's about having constant driver structures and maybe saving a few bytes in the modern drivers. If these old drivers hold back improvements to the drivers we care about, I don't see we they are not to be touched. This cannot be solved with CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY, unless you want to wrap any reference in core code to legacy data. I tried at first and it turned out to be an unreadable mess. And from a complexity POV the patchset is trivial. It adds a data structure to each old driver and moves a few initializers around. The worst thing that can happen is that code tried to dereference the legacy pointer when it's not set. This bug will happen with modern drivers, so we should see it easily.
