Sorry, please disregard. I was printing the pointers' address instead
of the value's address. Same drm_device is shared:

Link Training Unsuccessful via gildekel HACK - (not eDP)
Link Training Unsuccessful via gildekel HACK - (not eDP)

[CONNECTOR:273:DP-3]:
  connector->dev=00000000b88b882c
  connector->dev->mode_config.mutex=00000000d64b22db
    [MST-CONNECTOR:297:DP-5]:
      connector->dev=00000000b88b882c
      &connector->dev->mode_config.connection_mutex=000000002d876227
    [MST-CONNECTOR:301:DP-6]:
      connector->dev=00000000b88b882c
      &connector->dev->mode_config.connection_mutex=000000002d876227

Sorry for the noise.
