A patch for armada-drm to do what? I should perhaps have explicitly mentioned that this change depends on e28cd4d0a223: "drm: Automatically register/unregister all connectors", which is in drm-next. Like my commit message says - after the above commit, all connectors are automatically registered in drm_dev_register() - so I don't anticipate any regression, but I don't have a cubox to test. armada-drm seems to be doing effectively the same thing as arm/hdlcd, which works fine after this patch with no other changes. Let me know if I've missed something; or if you are able to test on cubox that would be great.
