No, I haven't looked at other ARM drivers. It's besides the point,
really, that's not a compelling argument. For the exynos driver, in
particular, it doesn't make sense to wrapping everything in
exynos_drm_*

The problem is that it makes things unnecessarily complex for no benefit.

For example, that you wanted to implement
connector_funcs->set_property() just in the hdmi driver. This requires
that you add a new display_op in exynos_drm_drv.h, then you implement
the connector_func callback in exynos_drm_connector to check if the op
is implemented then call it, and then you implement the set_property
hook in the hdmi driver. If you didn't have the wrapper, you just
implement the hook in the hdmi driver.
