I gave the patch a try (openSUSE Leap 42.3 with kernel 4.4).
The 3D accelerator info is displayed again now (as with kernel < 3.12), but
it shows "drm" as kernel module instead of "radeon" as I would expect.

Using just "/driver" (instead of "/driver/module") makes it display "radeon"
instead of "drm" here as I would expect.
OTOH, as it already runs lspci to get the other information, wouldn't it be
better to get the kernel module from lspci as well?
Additionally specifying the '-k' parameter to lspci adds these two lines to
lspci's output here:
Driver: radeon
Module: radeon
(the first one is the driver in use, the second one lists all available modules
for that device, see also "man lspci")
That should be independent of the kernel version and also work the same in the
get_dri_device_proc() case.
Just a thought though.
