Surprising. And you don't have a call to
drm_helper_disable_unused_functions, which is the usual culprit. Where
exactly do you see that ->disable call? Can you pls capture a backtrace
with full drm debugging enabled?

This shouldn't happen with atomic ...

It's just generally the safest approach to first unregister everything,
and only then start cleaning up.

E.g. this sounds unsafe, because drm assume that encoder lists are static
over the lifetime of the driver. You should make sure no one can get at it
any more first before cleaning up any components.
