Could you also explain why, in the commit message, please?

It is unexpected for arbitrary programs to be able to override the KMS
client, and certainly new ways to do so should not be added without an
excellent justification.

Maybe debugfs would be more appropriate if the purpose is only testing
rather than production environments?

When the DRM property was added, what was used as the userspace to
prove its workings?
