Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

I would personally store the CRTC pointers, or embed the CRTC instances
in the tidss_device structure, and free everything in the top-level
tidss_release() handler, to avoid spreading the release code all around
the driver. Same for planes and encoders. It may be a matter of personal
taste though, but it would allow dropping the kfree() calls in
individual error paths and centralize them in a single place if you
store the allocated pointer in tidss_device right after allocation.
