So I got totally lost in late_initcall_sync trying to figure out whether
there's any fun races against driver load, and I guess as long as you
don't manage to hotplug an usb display link at just the right time this
works.
But also that's all just the existing logo.c code, so pure distraction.
Thanks for your patch, pushed to drm-misc-next.
