git bisect shows that the guilty commit is:

commit f4b34faa08428d813fc3629f882c503487f94a12

    drm/imx: Annotate dma-fence critical section in commit path

    drm_atomic_helper_commit_hw_done() is the last thing (no plane cleanup
    apparrently), so it's the entire function. And a nice comment
    explaining why the wait_for_flip_done is ahead, unlike the usual
    sequence.

    Aside, I think since the atomic helpers do track plane disabling now
    separately this might no longer be a real problem since:

    commit 21a01abbe32a3cbeb903378a24e504bfd9fe0648
    Author: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst at linux.intel.com>
    Date:   Mon Sep 4 12:48:37 2017 +0200

        drm/atomic: Fix freeing connector/plane state too early by
tracking commits, v3.

    Plus the subsequent bugfixes of course, this was tricky to get right.

If I revert this commit on top of 5.14, the lockdep warning is gone.

Daniel,

How do we fix this?

Thanks
