Bunch of bikesheds for your considerations below, but overall lgtm.

Uh I'm not a big fan of Kconfig and .ko modules for every little helper
code. Imo just stuff this into the drm kms helpers and done. Or stuff it
into drm core code, I think either is a good case for this. Everything is
its own module means we need to EXPORT_SYMBOL more stuff, and then drivers
get funny ideas about using these internals ...

Maybe just me, but to avoid overstretching the attention spawn of doc
readers I'd avoid this example here. And maybe make the recommendation
stronger, e.g. "PCI device drivers can avoid open-coding
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() by calling
drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()."

Is there really value in allowing/forcing drivers to set up their own
detach ops? You already make this specific to struct drm_device, an
implementation that just calls drm_dev_unplug feels like the right thing
to do?
Or maybe we should tie this more into the struct device mode and force an
unload that way? That way devm cleanup would work as one expects, and
avoid the need for anything specific (hopefully) in this detach callback.
Just feels a bit like we're reinventing half of the driver model here,
badly.

Uh this needs a comment that if ap->dev is NULL then we're called from
drm_aperture_detach_drivers() and hence the lock is already held.

and an
else
locdep_assert_held(&drm_apertures_lock);
here to check that. I was scratching my head first quite a bit how you'd
solve the deadlock, this is a neat solution (much simpler than anything I
came up with in my head). But needs comments.

Is this just exported because of the inline functions in the headers? Imo
better to make them proper functions (they're big after your patch¬
perf critical, so not good candidates for inlining anyway).
