This smells more like the root-cause: Something goes wrong on boot
that prevents connectors from properly registering, then we fall over
later on. And the register callback is intentionally void, assuming
that any prep work has been done earlier and that therefore the
register step can't fail. Can you pls check whether the oops later on
only happens together with this warning at boot, or whether they're
not correlated?

Still no idea though why this blows up for you.
