+ * Drivers that want to support device unplugging (USB, DT overlay unload) should

+ * released. This is done using drm_dev_enter() and drm_dev_exit(). There is one
+ * shortcoming however, drm_dev_unplug() marks the drm_device as unplugged before
+ * drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() is called. This means that if the disable code
+ * paths are protected, they will not run on regular driver module unload,
+ * possibily leaving the hardware enabled.
