DRM users should be able to create/destroy/manage dumb- and frame-buffers without DRM_MASTER. These ioctls do not affect modesetting so there is no reason to protect them by drm-master. Particularly, destroying buffers should always be possible as a client has only access to buffers that they created. Hence, there is no reason to prevent a client from destroying the buffers, considering a simple close() would destroy them, anyway.
Furthermore, a display-server currently cannot shutdown correctly if it does not have DRM_MASTER. If some other display-server becomes active (or the kernel console), then the background display-server is unable to destroy its buffers. Under special curcumstances (like monitor reconfiguration) this might even happen during runtime.
