We should probably review whether we want `flags` here at some point

This could just be:

        // SAFETY: Safe by the invariants of `drm::Device`.
        to_result(unsafe { bindings::drm_dev_register(drm.as_raw(), flags) })?;

        Ok(Self(drm.into()))

Probably want to drop this comment, since it is impossible for the
registration to have not completed successfully by this point
