    We are talking about creating a dummy device because:
    - we need to give something for drm_platform_init(),
    - drm related data should be stored somewhere,
    - some data must be passed to all driver probe() functions. This is not
    hw-related data, but just some lists that are used to ensure that all
    drivers have been initialised before calling drm_platform_init().

    All these issues are purely tegra-drm related and solving them elsewhere
    (in host1x) would be just wrong! host1x would not even use the dummy
    device for anything so creating it there seems bizarre.
