The reason is that CMA doesn't actually provide any API for drivers to
use and in fact unless you use very large buffers you could indeed run
this code on top of a non-CMA kernel and it will likely even work.

Good catch! I'll move that into the Tegra30 support patch.

The list is used to properly remove all clients and resources when the
module is unloaded. Granted, this code isn't executed if you don't build
the driver as a loadable module, but it should still be a supported use-
case.

But that would be the same thing, only slightly more explicit. I find
that the above reads quite well as: look through the list of active
clients and if the client to be removed is in that list, teardown the
DRM part.

I suppose I could add a comment to explain this and avoid confusion.

Good point. Unfortunately tegra_output_init() isn't always used from
within .probe(), so it isn't quite easy to handle deferred probe here.
I'll have to take a look at how to solve this properly.

How do you think this would be confusing?
