Not with the way you're using the component helper here.

I guess that not all my message is being read, because people keep
replying half-way down my messages...

You can only register a struct device _once_ as a slave device.

With the way you're using it here for audio, you're registering the
i915 DRM device as a slave component device, and the audio side as
the master.  That means the audio master can bind to the DRM slave
component device.

You can't then have a CEC master bind to the i915 DRM slave device
(it's already bound to the audio master device), and you can't
register the i915 DRM device as a second slave component device.
It becomes indistinguishable from the first, and there's no way
to tell which of the two different 'ops' structures should be used
with which master.

I said this in my message 20151021140307.GE32532@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
which was two of my replies ago in this sub-thread.
