Yes, calling intel_display_power_flush_work() from the error handler at
the end of intel_dp_init_connector() would be better.

intel_display_power_flush_work() ensures that power wells without a
reference held are disabled when it returns, so no need to call the
_sync() version for encoders (the _sync() version ensures in addition
during driver unloading that the work function is not running).

Yes, the cleanup in those functions could be shared with the error
handling in g4x_dp_init() and intel_ddi_init(), except kfree(dig_port)
which also happens if drm_encoder_init() fails. 

For this intel_pps_vdd_off_sync() / intel_dp_aux_fini() would also
happen later at the end of g4x_dp_init()/intel_ddi_init(), I guess
that's ok.

I wonder if not handling drm_encoder_init() error in intel_ddi_init()
was on purpose, can't see a reason for it.
