I am fine with that approach, if Rob is onboard with that.

This is not uncommon. With unclocked access, we have seen in the past 
that sometimes the stack is off by one line. The fact that this issue 
got resolved even with the older version of the patch 
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/496984/ is pointing towards an 
unclocked access and not the dp/dp->ctrl memory pointers.

So whats happening here is the crash is happening in dp_bridge_disable().

dp_display_disable() is called from post_disable() thats why it doesnt 
show up in the stack.
