So looking at the thread, I guess it'd be good to document some consensus
stance on kunit tests, and whether or not we're at the point where for new
things or extensions of functions that already have kunit coverage we need
them. But I think that's orthogonal.

On the patch itself, I don't think it's the right fix. And by extension, I
don't think the i915 fix is correct either, because we have a bigger mess
here:

- GETCONNECTOR does indeed not show a connector that's not yet registers.

- But GETRESOURCES happily lists them. Which means we have a very silly
  race here, which isn't good.

- I think the correct solution is to move the list_add to the registration
  step, which would also move connectors in-line with other dynamically
  added kms objects like blobs or fbs (although those have a single-step
  registration+init function, so it's less obvious what's going on).

- The same thing applies on the unregister side of things, once a
  connector is unregistered I don't think it should stick around in any
  list. But I'm not entirely sure, would need to check with Lyude to make
  sure this doesn't break anything in mst helpers.

Now implementing this is going to be a bit a mess:

- For static connectors drivers _really_ want the connectors to be on the
  lists, otherwise a lot of the driver setup code just wont work. And
  we've worked towards removing all the explicit drm_connector_register
  calls, readding feels a bit silly.

- I think short-term we could just use the connector type to decide this,
  if it's MST it's a dynamic connector, and the list_add would need to be
  done late in drm_connector_register.

- Once the need pops up for other connectors to be dynamic (like for
  dynamic drm_bridge hotplug) we can add a drm_connector_dynamic_init or
  similar. I don't think splitting up _init further like you do here in
  two functions is correct, because the only place where it's correct to
  add a dynamic/hotplugged connector to the lists is in
  drm_connector_register, not anywhere else.

- It would be really nice if we could add a check to
  drm_connector_register to make sure it's not called for any connector
  which is already on the connector list, since that's a driver bug. Of
  course this would mean we'd need to split that from the internal version
  we call from drm_dev_register.

  Unfortunately that's not yet doable because the following todo isn't
  completed yet:

  https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/todo.html#connector-register-unregister-fixes

  I guess just add another bullet there?

Does this sound like a plan or am I completely wrong here?

Cheers, Sima
