Depending on the SDVO output_flags SDVO may have multiple connectors
linking to the same encoder (in intel_connector->encoder->base).
Only one of those connectors should be active (ie link to the encoder
thru drm_connector->encoder.
If intel_connector_break_all_links() is called from intel_sanitize_crtc()
we may brake the crtc connection of an encoder thru an inactive connector
in which case intel_connector_break_all_links() will not be called again
for the active connector due to
   if (connector->encoder->base.crtc != &crtc->base)
                                continue;
in intel_sanitize_crtc().
This will however leave the drm_connector->encoder linkage for this
active connector in place. Subsequently this will cause multiple
warnings in intel_connector_check_state() to trigger and the driver
will eventually die in drm_encoder_crtc_ok() (because of crtc == NULL).

To avoid this break the encoder links only if the connector is active
(ie. has drm_connector->encoder set).

This just leaves me with a nagging doubt that not all links will then be
broken. Do we have sufficient sanity checks to detect the obverse? Would
it be worth adding a second pass over the connector_list to assert that
all links are then broken?

Possibly. Maybe we should rework intel_sanitize_encoder() a bit:
loop over all drm_connectors, see if a drm_connector->encoder points
to the encoder in question and make sure that the intel_encoder state
(ie connectors_active and base.crtc) is in sync with the results.

I'll think about it some more ...

Cheers,
	Egbert.

Hm, I think to address Chris' concern we should split this into two
pieces: connector_break_all links which only breaks connector->encoder
stuff, used in both places as is. And a new encoder_break_all links which
we'll use in sanitize_crtc in a new encoder loop.

Really nice catch though!

I've got a different solution, although it requires a bit more 
code: Instead of having a single break_all_links() function I 
move the  link breaking code into the two functions where it 
is used (ie sanitize_encoder() and sanitize_crtc()).
This gives one a bit more flexibility in implementing what is 
needed and makes the code a bit clearer.
I will send later - once I had the opportunity to test.

Cheers,
	Egbert.
