drm: Add devm_drm_dev_alloc macro
Add a new macro helper to combine the usual init sequence in drivers, consisting of a kzalloc + devm_drm_dev_init + drmm_add_final_kfree triplet. This allows us to remove the rather unsightly drmm_add_final_kfree from all currently merged drivers. The kerneldoc is only added for this new function. Existing kerneldoc and examples will be udated at the very end, since once all drivers are converted over to devm_drm_dev_alloc we can unexport a lot of interim functions and make the documentation for driver authors a lot cleaner and less confusing. There will be only one true way to initialize a drm_device at the end of this, which is going to be devm_drm_dev_alloc. v2: - Actually explain what this is for in the commit message (Sam) - Fix checkpatch issues (Sam) Acked-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Cc: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Reviewed-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200415074034.175360-2-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch

+ *
+ * This allocates and initialize a new DRM device. No device registration is done.
+ * Call drm_dev_register() to advertice the device to user space and register it
+ * with other core subsystems. This should be done last in the device
+ * initialization sequence to make sure userspace can't access an inconsistent
+ * state.
+ *
+ * The initial ref-count of the object is 1. Use drm_dev_get() and
+ * drm_dev_put() to take and drop further ref-counts.
+ *
+ * It is recommended that drivers embed &struct drm_device into their own device
+ * structure.
+ *
+ * Note that this manages the lifetime of the resulting &drm_device
+ * automatically using devres. The DRM device initialized with this function is
+ * automatically put on driver detach using drm_dev_put().

+ * RETURNS:
+ * Pointer to new DRM device, or ERR_PTR on failure.
