Right, will drop this.

For dpcd transactions, as long as the aux device is unregistered through
drm_dp_aux_unregister_devnode(), we should be good. There's an atomic_t
use_count that syncs against reads and writes.
Although I'm not sure what would happen if the device was ripped out
from underneath us, say, if the parent connector device is removed
before calling aux_unregister_devnode(). If this does happen, I think
it's more of an order-of-operations issue from the driver. V2 of patch 2
(and 7-10) actually addresses a specific occurence of this during driver
unload.
Regarding sysfs attrs, the kernfs underneath does seem to guarantee that
any r/w is completed before removal. See kernfs_drain(), called as part
of kernfs_remove().
