AFAIU, the suggestion was to split drm_connector_init and
drm_connector_register calls:
 - drm_connector_init call should still be part of the load procedure
   (this function adds the connector to the connector list which is used
   by drm_mode_group_init_legacy_group)
 - drm_connector_register should be called after the device has been
   registered

Here what I've done and it seems to work:

static int atmel_hlcdc_dc_connector_plug_all(struct drm_device *dev)
{
	struct drm_connector *connector, *failed;
	int ret;

	mutex_lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex);
	list_for_each_entry(connector,
	&dev->mode_config.connector_list, head) { ret =
	drm_connector_register(connector); if (ret) {
			failed = connector;
			goto err;
		}
	}
	mutex_unlock(&dev->mode_config.mutex);
	return 0;

err:
	list_for_each_entry(connector, &dev->mode_config.connector_list, head) {
		if (failed == connector)
			break;

		drm_connector_unregister(connector);
	}
	mutex_unlock(&dev->mode_config.mutex);

	return ret;
}

[...]

static int atmel_hlcdc_dc_drm_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
	struct drm_device *ddev;
	int ret;

	ddev = drm_dev_alloc(&atmel_hlcdc_dc_driver, &pdev->dev);
	if (!ddev)
		return -ENOMEM;

	ret = drm_dev_set_unique(ddev, dev_name(ddev->dev));
	if (ret)
		goto err_unref;

	ret = atmel_hlcdc_dc_load(ddev);
	if (ret)
		goto err_unref;

	ret = drm_dev_register(ddev, 0);
	if (ret)
		goto err_unload;

	ret = atmel_hlcdc_dc_connector_plug_all(ddev);
	if (ret)
		goto err_unregister;

	return 0;

err_unregister:
	drm_dev_unregister(ddev);

err_unload:
	atmel_hlcdc_dc_unload(ddev);

err_unref:
	drm_dev_unref(ddev);

	return ret;
}

Daniel, can you confirm that's what you had in mind ?

Regards,

Boris
