Internship season is starting, let's review this. One thing that's
pending is Maxime's work to roll out drm_atomic_state pointers to all
callbacks, he said he'll remove that entry once it's all done.

KMS cleanups Object lifetime fixes

historical reasons) misnamed drm_primary_helper_destroy() function. EPROBE_DEFERRED backoff.
Both these problems can be solved by switching over to drmm_kzalloc(), and the
various convenience wrappers provided, e.g. drmm_crtc_alloc_with_planes(),
drmm_universal_plane_alloc(), ... and so on.
