exynos seems to take a the same approach. Components are separate in the device tree, and each component is implemented as a platform driver or i2c driver. However all the drivers are built together in the same module, and the module_init sequence is careful to initialise all of the output component drivers before loading the DRM driver. The output component driver store their findings in global structures.
I will point out that relying on driver probing orders has already been stated by driver model people to be unsafe. This is why I will not adopt such a solution for my driver; it is a bad design.
