Is this perhaps something similar to what Jon fixed a couple of weeks
ago in the Tegra driver? See commit 280dc0e145b2 ("drm/tegra: Fix crash
caused by reference count imbalance").
The root cause of that was that Tegra's DSI driver is subclassing the
connector state and didn't make proper use of the helpers to share the
core state code, ultimately causing the connector reference count to
become unbalanced. dw-hdmi doesn't subclass state, so it seems unlikely
that it's the same root cause here. The kernel version string indicates
that this isn't a vanilla v4.7-rc1 but that you have local changes, so
perhaps there's some significant change there?
