Ok, small trapdoor I didn't highlight: Accessing the connector prope state
(i.e. ->status and ->display_info) requires that you hold
dev->mode_config.mutex. See how it's done in drm_setup_crtcs, just wrap it
around this loop here.

fbdev state itself is protected by fb_helper->lock, so that part is all
good.

I've applied patch 1 already, but can you pls respin that one with the
locking fixed up?

Thanks, Daniel
