Yes, we did, but after reading a separate thread on this topic, I learned that drm core does not support it currently.
Daniel mentions [1]: "And I wouldn't worry about module unloading and refcounting for now since core drm is terminally broken in that area already anyway"

Can't we just apply this patch so that imx-drm can be functional again and fix module unloading/refcount later?
