/**
+ * DOC: driver instance overview
+ *
+ * A device instance for a drm driver is represented by struct &drm_device. This
+ * is allocated with drm_dev_alloc(), usually from bus-specific ->probe()
+ * callbacks implemented by the driver. The driver then needs to initialize all
+ * the various subsystems for the drm device like memory management, vblank
+ * handling, modesetting support and intial output configuration plus obviously
+ * initialize all the corresponding hardware bits. An important part of this is
+ * also calling drm_dev_set_unique() to set the userspace-visible unique name of
+ * this device instance. Finally when everything is up and running and ready for
+ * userspace the device instance can be published using drm_dev_register().
+ *
+ * There is also deprecated support for initalizing device instances using
+ * bus-specific helpers and the ->load() callback. But due to
+ * backwards-compatibility needs the device instance have to be published too
+ * early, which requires unpretty global locking to make safe and is therefore
+ * only support for existing drivers not yet converted to the new scheme.
+ *
+ * When cleaning up a device instance everything needs to be done in reverse:
+ * First unpublish the device instance with drm_dev_unregister(). Then clean up
+ * any other resources allocated at device initialization and drop the driver's
+ * reference to &drm_device using drm_dev_unref().
+ *
+ * Note that the lifetime rules for &drm_device instance has still a lot of
+ * historical baggage. Hence use the reference counting provided by
+ * drm_dev_ref() and drm_dev_unref() only carefully.
+ *
+ * Also note that embedding of &drm_device is currently not (yet) supported (but
+ * it would be easy to add). Drivers can store driver-private data in the
+ * dev_priv field of &drm_device.
