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.
