I could expand on this text a little:

All drivers add all their connectors so there's no need to keep around an
array of available connectors. Instead we just put the useable (not
writeback) connectors in a temporary array using
drm_client_for_each_connector_iter() everytime we probe the outputs.
Other places where it's necessary to look at the connectors, we just
iterate over them using the same iterator function.

When I use a for loop it's in the 'probe for outputs' path where we are
operating on a temporary connector array that is created in
drm_setup_crtcs().

If you look at the removed drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors()
you'll see that it skips writeback connectors.

Yeah, this is downstream from drm_setup_crtcs() and we're operating on
the temporary 'connectors' array.

If you look further up where the connectors array is created, you'll see
that connector_count is only incremented if we succeed in krealloc'ing
the array leading to getting a ref on the connector.

The connector iterator uses some magic to avoid taking the mode_config
mutex. See drm_connector_list_iter_next().
