Ok, I guess that's good enough to push at least the crash fix forward.

Hm, I thought I replied here but I didn't:
- Is this just after boot (and then the connector is stuck forever), or
  starts to happen after suspend/resume, or some other system change like
  that? Or do they just crop up eventually?

- Does this only happen once the connector is destroyed? Please trace
  intel_dp_destroy_mst_connector with something like:


diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c
index 38e3ca2f6f18..24ac2d1ce3ad 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp_mst.c

 	drm_connector_unregister(connector);

+
 	/* need to nuke the connector */
 	drm_modeset_lock_all(dev);
 	intel_connector_remove_from_fbdev(intel_connector);

- If it's not that then something in intel_dp_mst_detect (well, it's
  helper implementation drm_dp_mst_detect_port) is probably going wrong.

Cheers, Daniel
