I'm not sure why your signed-off-by line is above your description?

This interface seems like it was primarily used by the ACPI video code,
which dropped support for the output switching fairly recently (see
677bd810eedce61edf15452491781ff046b92edc).

If you remove the registration interface then it's not clear that there's
any point in keeping the class handling or anything else around, either.
If the entire thing is to be killed off however we'll need the ack from
the author (added to Cc).
