It is deprecated - and a lot of drivers is in need up an update to get
away from using it.

>From the kernel-doc:

        /**
         * @dev_private:
         *
         * DRM driver private data. This is deprecated and should be left set to
         * NULL.
         *
         * Instead of using this pointer it is recommended that drivers use
         * drm_dev_init() and embed struct &drm_device in their larger
         * per-device structure.
         */
        void *dev_private;

Maybe drm_irq_install() does not fit the need here. But please take an
extra look as what is does is quite basic. And no need to roll your
own if there is available infrstructure that can be used.

But there is nothing wrong rolloing your own if needed.
