Hi Laurent, sorry, you're right, this patch should not be needed. the connector should be cleanup by drm_mode_config_cleanup->drm_connector_put. i did that in analogix_dp is to avoid a use-after-free issue not kmemleak, because the connector was allocated/freed in analogix_dp's bind/unbind. but i found a kmemleak issue(dma_mask not freed) in dw-hdmi when testing that, will send patch soon.
