If I understand correctly, that means you'd be OK with the original
patch I posted?  In that case cleanup continues to happen in the main
dw-hdmi.c if dw_hdmi_bind() succeeds and my patch fixes the cleanup
when dw_hdmi_bind() fails (and thus cleanup responsibility was not
handed off).

Also: I noticed that Russell also didn't seem to say that my original
patch was bad.  I think he just said that he didn't like John
Keeping's suggestion.

Please correct any misunderstandings.  Thanks!
