I see you took one step further and used devm_alloc for the crtcs and
encoders etc too =). I don't see why that wouldn't work, though, as they
are all created at init time and freed when the driver exits.

However, at least omapdrm does handle freeing in the specific _destroy
callbacks, so I do wonder if there's some reason for that...

Did you test with tilcdc as module, with all the kernel debug options
enabled, and a few load/unload module cycles?
