*
* Unregister the DRM device from the system. This does the reverse of
* drm_dev_register() but does not deallocate the device. The caller must call
* drm_dev_put() to drop their final reference.
* drm_dev_put() to drop their final reference, unless it is managed with devres
* (as devices allocated with devm_drm_dev_alloc() are), in which case there is
* already an unwind action registered.
*
* A special form of unregistering for hotpluggable devices is drm_dev_unplug(),
* which can be called while there are still open users of @dev.
