Well I intentionally left in description of drm_connector_register_all():
"Should be call when the device is disconnected, e.g. from an usb driver's
 ->connect callback."

I did mean it. Or is this statement is incorrect and example of invocation of
drm_connector_register_all() should be different? Which one works better then?

Yeah, correct. Blind copy-paste doesn't work equally good always :(

Ok.

That's clear given your explanation in the previous email.

Ok.

Ok.
