ahh, ok.  Yeah, we do need some way to make this easier, as it is a
too-common pattern.  I do think we do need a way to know if something
is missing because it isn't there vs it hasn't been probed yet.  Ie.
late_initcall() is not the awesome solution.

On this topic, I now have a solution to this which is not DRM specific,
nor is it DT specific.

It's a core piece of code which gathers up the struct device pointers,
and a callback for the master device to assemble the components and
indicate when the master is complete.

That's pretty clean. I think that will work nicely.
