I think we need to start considering a framework where subdrivers just
add drm objects themselves, then the toplevel node is responsible for
knowing that everything for the current configuration is loaded.

I realise we may need to make changes to the core drm to allow this
but we should probably start to create a strategy for fixing the API
issues that this throws up.

Note I'm not yet advocating for dynamic addition of nodes once the
device is in use, or removing them.

Dave.
