Subject: Re: [PATCH v9 5/5] drm/bridge/synopsys: dw-hdmi: Add missing bridge
 detach

Hi Laurent,

sorry, you're right, this patch should not be needed.

the connector should be cleanup by 
drm_mode_config_cleanup->drm_connector_put.

i did that in analogix_dp is to avoid a use-after-free issue not 
kmemleak, because the connector was allocated/freed in analogix_dp's 
bind/unbind.

but i found a kmemleak issue(dma_mask not freed) in dw-hdmi when testing 
that, will send patch soon.
