Lots of arm drivers get this wrong and for most arm boards this is the
right thing actually. And anyway with most loaders you want to chase
sysfs links anyway to figure out which dri device you want.

This will fix dmesg noise for rockchip and sti.

Fwiw I still hope to finish libdrm-2 (hint importing kernel headers),
which will remove the biggest user of these legacy ioctls. This way we
might even nuke all these lovelies from the kernel. I doubt you'll
object against the idea, will you ?

We can't nuke this lovelies from the kernel for another 5-10 years since
old userspace needs to keep working :(

Feel like r-b-stamping this patch?
