Yeah, basically the host1x DRM driver registration causes a logical
device to be created. The driver will then finally bind to the device
after all the subdevices have been registered. Since all the subdevice
drivers are linked into a single module, all the module device tables
end up in that kernel module and that's enough to trigger the whole
process.

I ran into this issue when I was trying to run the Tegra DRM driver in
a "headless" configuration where all the display-related devices were
disabled via DT. Without exporting the VIC module device table, there
were no entries in the module's aliases list that would match the set
of devices registered to the system and the driver wouldn't load.
