I think the issue is more the two lines

	connector = &rgb->connector;
 	connector = drm_bridge_connector_init(rgb->drm_dev, encoder);

hence the connector = &rgb->connector being overwritten immediately after

Now that I look at it again, the whole approach looks strange.
drm_bridge_connector_init() creates the connector structure and
returns a pointer to it.

So the first line below sets the connector pointer to point to the
&rgb->connector element and the second line then set a completely
different address into it.

So the connector element in rockchip_lvds and rockchip_rgb should actually
become a pointer itself to hold the connector element returned from
drm_bridge_connector_init() .
