From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni at intel.com> By the time we call intel_dp_destroy (which destroys the connector) the encoder may have been destroyed already, so if we use it we may be reading some free memory. That happens in drm_mode_config_cleanup() and also inside intel_dp_init_connector() when we detect a ghost eDP. I also hope this may solve some random memory bugs. Reported-by kmemcheck.
