I think it is actually this rule:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="devcoredump", \
  RUN+="/sbin/crash_reporter
--udev=SUBSYSTEM=devcoredump:ACTION=add:KERNEL_NUMBER=%n"

It is something non-drm specific because it supports devcore dumps
from non drm drivers.  I know at least some of the wifi and remoteproc
drivers use it.
