The documentation for struct drm_minor already states this, but that's
not always that easy to find.
Also due to historical reasons we still have the minor-centric (like
drm_debugfs_create_files), but since this is now getting fixed we can
put a few more pointers in place as to how this should be done
ideally.
Motvated by some discussion with Rodrigo on irc about how drm/xe
should lay out its sysfs interfaces.
