I had to apply the following diff to work around a crash:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ti-sn65dsi83.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ti-sn65dsi83.c

connector->display_info.bus_formats is NULL for the HDMI connectors, as
I have nothing connected to them, as well as for the writeback

Then, when running kmstest --flip, I get one warning per frame:

Does it ring any bell ?

In case this is useful information, the problem didn't occur on top of
commit e1499baa0b0c.
