Well, if you want to support it from the DRM, it should live in
drivers/gpu/drm, and I don't think you should add another platform
driver in the first place. The profusion of platform drivers in exynos
makes it really difficult to support suspend/resume and initialization
properly as many devices which operate separately need to sync through
global variables.
