The pointer connector is being assigned a value that is never
read, it is being updated immediately afterwards. The assignment
is redundant and can be removed.
The pointer to the connector is used in rockchip_rgb_fini for
drm_connector_cleanup.
It's pretty much the same for the encoder, btw.
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.
Totally agreed.
The main reason I was doing it that way, was the way it was done already
in rockchip_lvds.c, where the connector was already existent in the
struct rockchip_lvds (and was already used in the panel-case - all
places where it is used accept pointers also, btw) and is *no* pointer -
and is done already this very strange way.
I wanted to re-use it for the bridge-case and didn't want to differ in
coding in rockchip-rgb to much.
The only reason I can think of, why it was done that way is, that we
might need a pointer to a fully initialized struct drm_connector for
some reason (drm_connector_cleanup ?), what we wouldn't have if have
just a pointer and something goes wrong before drm_connector_init
respectivly drm_bridge_connector_init.

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() .
