I don't think reaching into drm_crtc internals like this is going to be
robust. Currently, this is either missing the rest of drm_crtc_cleanup,
or it will crash if drm_crtc_init_with_planes hasn't been called yet.

I think you could call devm_add_action with a function that calls
drm_crtc_cleanup after drm_crtc_init_with_planes in ipu_crtc_init.

Alternatively, the ipu_crtc allocation could be changed to kzalloc. It
would then have to freed manually in the drm_crtc_funcs->destroy
callback.

Philipp
