[2/2] drm/ast: Fix connector leak during driver unload

When unloading the ast driver, a warning message is printed by
drm_mode_config_cleanup() because a reference is still held to one of
the drm_connector structs.

Correct this by calling drm_framebuffer_remove() in
ast_fbdev_destroy().

This doesn't seem corret, no other driver does this pattern, and I
can't believe ast is special here.

The get just doesn't make sense.

Thanks for having a look at this, as I said in the cover letter I was
concerned that it might not be a good fix.

But the AST driver does seem to be special (or just old?) because it
embeds the drm_framebuffer directly into ast_fbdev and (almost all)
other drivers dynamically allocate and reference count theirs.

The drm_framebuffer_get() certainly looks weird but it is there in order
to cause drm_framebuffer_remove() to call legacy_remove_fb(), which it
won't do unless the refcount is at least 2. (And because the
drm_framebuffer isn't dynamically allocated in this case we don't really
care about the reference count anyway.)

An alternative might be to call legacy_remove_fb() directly, but it's
declared static.  Do you think it would be better to expose it and call
it directly from the AST driver code? Or is there some other better way
to put the drm_connectors?

Cheers,
Sam.

Your problem isn't the dynamic fb vs. embedded fb for fbdev (you're
already using drm_framebuffer_unregister_private to handle that). Your
problem is you're not shutting down stuff on driver unload, which
means the fb is still in use. drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() takes care
of that for atomic drivers.

No idea anymore what to do for legacy code, probably need to open code
a shutdown sequence. Definitely not the above.

Well, it looks like drm_crtc_force_disable_all() would also do the job,
and from looking at nouveau_display_fini() it's used there as an
alternative to drm_atomic_helper_shutdown().

Would it be reasonable to call that at the start of
ast_fbdev_destroy() instead? (Testing shows that it does allow the
drm_connector to be released. Is it enough/correct though?)

Sam.

Ah right, I tried looking for that one but didn't find it with a quick
scan.

Great, I'll post a v2 with that change.
