Hi Martin,

Thank you for the patch.

I encountered this issue some time ago as well and had a possible fix in my tree (see
below). 
My apologies for not upstreaming it earlier.

While my fix is not as symmetric as yours—I like symmetry—it is somewhat simpler. It
did make the assumption that only  calling component_unbind_all() was at fault and the the rest of the 
code was correct. Therefore, calling one of the following functions:
meson_encoder_dsi_remove()
meson_encoder_hdmi_remove()
meson_encoder_cvbs_remove()
in case their counterpart was not called, should not result in any issues.

I just verified, and, as far as I understand, all of these functions do a check to confirm
whether the encoder was initialized before proceeding with cleanup.

This patch has somewhat less code redundancy. I don’t have a strong
preference for either patch, so please feel free to choose whichever you 
prefer. 

If you decide to go with yours, I’ve provided one minor comment inline
for your consideration.

Above two lines are no longer used, so can be removed.
