Subject: [PATCH] drm/TODO: Clarify DRM_DEV_* conversion

Not everyone agrees this is the best thing, so make it really clear
that maintainers need to be asked first, then the conversion. We've
had a few newbies that did this the other way round, got their patches
rejected, which isn't the best newbie experience.
