This is only run at driver unload, so really no need to optimize anything
for speed. And I think this change makes the code less symmetric, so not
really worth it imo.

Similar with the via change, drm/via is very very legacy code where the
next step will be to just outright delete it all.

Thanks anyway for submitting the patches, in other places such a change
would indeed make sense I think.
