Yes I see what you mean, it triggers the WARN_ON in tilcdc_crtc_destroy 
because DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON is still set.  This WARN_ON does make some 
sense because DPMS_OFF would have the effect of turning off clocks and 
putting the monitor to sleep which seems logical considering we have 
torn down the display.  Adding a tilcdc_crtc_dpms(DPMS_OFF) right before 
the WARN_ON confirms this, but it seems strange that this hasn't 
happened automatically (+ Russell doesn't need to do it in his Armada 
driver) - so I suspect there is a better way.

Otherwise I think this is a good and useful patch series.
