It turns out that comment is wrong - dw hdmi driver never does any encoder cleanup. In fact, cleanup is done automatically, in destroy callback of encoder. Even more, encoder memory will be freed when hdmi device is destroyed. However, encoder will be cleaned up after that, in drm_mode_config_cleanup(), which is called later. This will cause use after free bug. Remove redundant encoder cleanup, switch memory allocation to live as long as drm object and while at it, check return code of encoder initialization.
