Sometimes we could be controlling a device (such as an NVIDIA Tesla) that has no crtcs/encoders/connectors.

One could argue that the driver should unset DRIVER_MODESET in this case, but that changes a whole heap of the DRM's other behaviours, and it's much easier to just be a modesetting driver without any outputs.
