Nope. You are fundamentally missing the point of all this, which is:

- drivers create debugfs files whenever they want to, as long as it's
  _before_ drm_dev_register is called.

- drm_dev_register will set them all up.

This is necessary because otherwise you have the potential for some nice
oops and stuff when userspace tries to access these files before the
driver is ready.

Note that with sysfs all this infrastructure already exists, which is why
you can create sysfs files whenever you feel like, and things wont go
boom.

So yeah we need the list.

This also means that we really should not create the debugfs directories
_before_ drm_dev_register is called. That's just fundamentally not how
device interface setup should work:

1. you allocate stucts and stuff
2. you fully init everything
3. you register interfaces so they become userspace visible
