Shouldn't one update the drm_dev_init/drm_dev_alloc documentation while doing 
this?
But more importantly, this will change the "unique" string (see 
drm_dev_set_unique).

Sorry I did not get your comment about updating drm_dev_init/drm_dev_alloc 
documentation 
for this change. Do you see any issue if this "unique string " is changed

The topic around it rather convoluted and messy, so please check this change 
doesn't cause subtle regressions.
There's a doc hunk in drm_ioctl.c to begin with, plus userspace such as IGT [1] 
might rely on the current behaviour.

I did run vgem test from IGT to check for regression , do you suspect 
regression in other tests ?

Thanks,
Deepak
