Add new api devm_drm_irq_install() to register interrupts, no need to call drm_irq_uninstall() when the drm module is removed.
v2: fixed the wrong parameter.

Shouldn't we tie the IRQ to the drm device (so with drmm_add_action) instead of tying it to the underlying device?
If the HW device goes away, there won't be any more interrupts. So it's similar to devm_ functions for I/O memory. Why would you use the drmm_ interface?
drm_irq_install/uninstall do more that just calling request_irq and free_irq though, they will also run (among other things) the irq-related hooks in the drm driver (irq_preinstall, irq_postinstall irq_uninstall) and wake anything waiting for a vblank to occur, so we need the DRM device and driver to still be around when we run drm_irq_uninstall. That's why (I assume) you have to pass the drm_device as an argument and not simply the device.
drm_device is guaranteed to outlive devm_, plus the hooks are meant to shut down hw. hw isn't around anymore when we do drmm_ cleanup, at least not in full generality.
This probably works in most case since you would allocate the drm_device with devm_drm_dev_alloc, and then run drm_irq_install, so in the undoing phase you would have first drm_irq_uninstall to run, and everything is fine.
However, if one doesn't use devm_drm_dev_alloc but would use devm_drm_irq_install, you would have first remove being called that would free the drm device, and then drm_irq_uninstall which will use a free'd pointer.
Don't do that, it's broken :-)
Umm, I just saw that hibmc doesn't use devm_drm_dev_alloc. So maybe we have to convert it first before using the managed irq function. OTOH converting it is a good idea in any case, so why not. :)
Best regards Thomas
So yeah, even though the interrupt line itself is tied to the device, all the logic we have around the interrupt that is dealt with in drm_irq_install is really tied to the drm_device. And since we tie the life of drm_device to its underlying device already (either implicitly through devm_drm_dev_alloc, or explictly through manual allocation in probe and free in remove) we can't end up in a situation where the drm_device outlives its device.
Most drivers get their drm_device lifetime completely wrong. That's why I typed drmm_ stuff. So this isn't a surprise at all, but it might motiveate a bunch more people to fix this up correctly.
Also, these drm_irq functions are 100% optional helpers (should maybe rename them to make this clearer) for modern drivers. They're only built in for DRIVER_LEGACY, because hysterical raisins. -Daniel
