This is something I considered to include in my configfs series, however,
I'm not sure if the set of rules used to validate a device configuration
are already implemented somewhere in the DRM core and we could try to
expose them to avoid duplicating them.
I'd be nice if someone with a better understanding of the DRM core code
could give us some pointers about the best way to implemet these validation
rules.
Also, if we end up implemeting the rules in VKMS, it'd be nice to print
to dmesg some information so the user can figure out what and why failed.
