Though I'm not quite sure about the point of retrieving the static variable imx_drm_device from calling __imx_drm_device(), shouldn't imxdrm be used here since you already retrieve it?
The point of calling __imx_drm_device() instead of using imx_drm_device directly is that I thought it might be easier to convert to a non global variable later should we have (or want) to. I'm also unsure about the value of having such a function, but you are right, it should be used consistently if we have it.
I'll fix the remaining things you mentioned in the next round. Thanks for looking at it.
