drm/todo: Add entry to remove load/unload hooks
They're midlayer, broken, and because of the old gunk, we can't fix them. For examples see the various checks in drm_mode_object.c against dev->registered, which cannot be enforced if the driver still uses the load hook. Unfortunately our biggest driver still uses load/unload, so this would be really great to get fixed.

Remove load/unload callbacks from all non-DRIVER_LEGACY drivers
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The load/unload callbacks in struct &drm_driver are very much midlayers, plus
|
||||
for historical reasons they get the ordering wrong (and we can't fix that)
|
||||
between setting up the &drm_driver structure and calling drm_dev_register().
|
||||
|
||||
- Rework drivers to no longer use the load/unload callbacks, directly coding the
|
||||
load/unload sequence into the driver's probe function.
|
||||
|
||||
- Once all non-DRIVER_LEGACY drivers are converted, disallow the load/unload
|
||||
callbacks for all modern drivers.
