Hm right, wonder who that works with rockchip tbh.

We did split up the drm_connector setup into _init and register, so if you
want to do this then you need to move the call to drm_connector_register
below the call to drm_dev_register.

We should probably have a drm_connectors_register_all helper which does
this for all connectors on the connector list. And also grabs the
appropriate lock.

I guess it's somewhat obvious that no one yet actually tried this ;-)
