So these look reasonable and good to me, and I think landing them
makes a lot of sense.  For that part feel free to add:

Now, regarding the issue in question - we are getting there, but not
quite there yet.

I'm still seeing multiple NULL-ptr derefs, namely on

 DDI A/PHY A
 DDI TC1/PHY TC1
 DDI TC2/PHY TC2
 DDI TC3/PHY TC3
 DDI TC4/PHY TC4

The thing is, all of them are DP connectors, we only ever call
intel_ddi_init_dp_connector() on them, so dig_port->hdmi
is not init-ed, wheres intel_hdmi_encoder_shutdown() doesn't
distinguish and treats everyone as HDMI connector, dereferencing
->hdmi.

With the small addition I don't see null-ptr derefs anymore:
