The non modesetting drm drivers currently use a handcrafted pci probe function. This requires the drm core to keep a list of registered devices for each driver. This series adds a probe function for the non modesetting drivers and removes the legacy probe code. The USB and platform drivers use the devices_list aswell which is unnecessary. This is also cleaned up in this series.
No it can't work like this because we have conflicts between fb and drm drivers, so the DRM is required to do its own probe if an fb driver for a device is already loaded.
it can't use the PCI probe out of the box.
