Calling drm_connector_cleanup() should only be done via the free_cb => .destroy path, which cleans up the struct drm_connector only when the refcount drops to zero. A cleanup done with a refcount higher than 0 can result from buggy code, e.g. by doing cleanup directly in the drivers teardown code. Serious trouble can happen if this happens, so warn about it.
