<pre>Hi Ville,
I tested the following 3 patches on today's drm-nightly:
1. drm/i915: Refresh that status of MST capable connectors in ->detect()
2. drm/fb-helper: Fix connector ref leak on error
3. drm/fb-helper: Keep references for the current set of used connectors
You're right, after applying #1, the null pointer issue comes back but after
applying #2, and doing the display power on/off to repro the bug, the system
freezes and never comes back again. Same behavior if then applying patch #3 on
top, which is supposed to be the fix.
