For two reasons:
- The driver core clears this already for us after we're unloaded in
__device_release_driver().
- It's way too late, the drm_device ->release callback might massively
outlive the underlying physical device, since a drm_device can be
kept alive by open drm_file or well really anything else userspace
is still hanging onto. So if we clear this ourselves, we should
clear it in the pci ->remove callback, not in the drm_device
->release callback.
Looking at git history this was fixed in the driver core with

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
