I wonder if it wouldn't be better to create common file for forward
declarations. For example: include/drm/drm_forward.h which will contain
only forward declarations, this way we could avoid adding these
declarations in every file again and again. Since I have not seen such
practice in kernel I wonder if such approach has no serious drawbacks,
but for now I do not see any, except it looks like another incarnation
of drmP.h :)

Quick grep shows potential candidates for forward declarations:

$ git grep -Ph '^struct drm_\S+;$' include/ drivers/gpu/ | sort | uniq
-c | sort -n | tail
      7 struct drm_encoder;
      7 struct drm_gem_object;
      8 struct drm_printer;
      9 struct drm_connector;
      9 struct drm_framebuffer;
     13 struct drm_plane;
     14 struct drm_crtc;
     22 struct drm_i915_private;
     23 struct drm_file;

     47 struct drm_device;
