The core code does not create the encoder - it merely stores a pointer
to the encoder, and registers itself as a bridge against the encoder.
It does call drm_mode_connector_attach_encoder() which adds the
encoder ID to the connector's possible encoders.
The cleanup (in dw_hdmi_unbind()) really ought to be moved out, but
that adds problems because of the need for two lots of driver data
to then be stored.
However, the bind() path really needs to be doing the encoder cleanup
before returning when an unsuccessful dw_hdmi_bind() returns. I
wouldn't be surprised if there's a use-after-free bug here right now
because of the lack of that - core DRM will try to clean up the
attached encoder after it's been kfree()d.
Please, don't forget that the core driver gets used by two DRM drivers,
and if one driver suffers from a problem, it's possible that the other
driver does too - so both should be fixed.
This is very relevant in this case, the same author created the same bug
in both when dw-hdmi was split in order to support rockchip - the
history shows that when it was a single driver for imx-hdmi, it did
not have this issue (as there was no failure path possible after the
drm_encoder_init() call.)
So, please fix both rockchip and imx DRM drivers for this same bug.
