      drm/irq: remove check on dev->dev_private · e62bf83a
      Jani Nikula authored
      There is no real reason to require drivers to set and use
      dev->dev_private. Indeed, the current recommendation, as documented in
      drm_device.h, is to embed struct drm_device in the per-device struct
      instead of using dev_private.
      
      Remove the requirement for dev_private to have been set to indicate
      driver initialization.
      
      For background, quoting Daniel Vetter:
      
      Now there might be some hilarious races this papers over, but:
      
      - Proper drivers should only call drm_dev_register once everything is
        set up, including this stuff here. No race possible with anything else
        really.
      
      - Slightly more wobbly drivers, including the legacy ones, all use
        drm_global_mutex. This was the former BKL, which means that it was
        impossible for soeone to go through the load/unload/reload (between
        lastclose and firstopen) paths and also run the ioctl. But the ioctl
        had to be made unlocked because blocking there killed X:

      	     drm: do not sleep on vblank while holding a mutex
      
        The even more legacy DRM_CONTROL ioctl stayed fully locked. But the
        file open/close paths are still fully locked, and that's the only
        place legacy drivers should call drm_irq_install/uninstall, so should
        all still be fully ordered and protected and happy.
