A question and a nit follow.

Question: this appears to be only useful if there's a corresponding
struct platform_device. That is, a platform_device with a "fsl-dcu-drm"
.name. It will fire off a "MODALIAS=platform:fsl-dcu-drm" uevent when
it's created.

I couldn't find this corresponding platform_device. Does it exist? Or is
this alias needed for some other reason?

Nit: I don't think DRIVER_NAME is actually used anywhere.

Thanks,
