Right.

Well, you can just use omap_dss_put_device(dssdev) before the return.
That should fix it.

Check drivers/video/omap2/dss/display.c:omap_dss_get_next_device().

Right, in practice it doesn't matter. The only issue here is that it's
not very nice if you don't clean up after getting an error =). And,
well, with modules there could be issues in some particular cases, where
leaving things connected would prevent unloading of modules.

omapdrm doesn't seem to disconnect even when it's removed normally. I
guess it'd be nicer to have similar disconnect loop as in omapfb, i.e.
just go over all the displays and disconnect them all.
