If we don't call drm_connector_cleanup() manually in panel_bridge_detach(), the connector will be cleaned up with the other DRM objects in the call to drm_mode_config_cleanup(). However, since our drm_connector is devm-allocated, by the time drm_mode_config_cleanup() will be called, our connector will be long gone. Therefore, the connector must be cleaned up when the bridge is detached to avoid use-after-free conditions.
v2: Cleanup connector only if it was created v3: Add FIXME v4: (Use connector->dev) directly in if() block Fixes: 13dfc0540a57 ("drm/bridge: Refactor out the panel wrapper from the lvds-encoder bridge.")
