[PATCH] drm/nouveau/disp: fix use-after-free in error handling of nouveau_connector_create

From: Karol Herbst
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 10:51:12 EST


We can't simply free the connector after calling drm_connector_init on it.
We need to clean up the drm side first.

It might not fix all regressions from 2b5d1c29f6c4 ("drm/nouveau/disp:
PIOR DP uses GPIO for HPD, not PMGR AUX interrupts"), but at least it
fixes a memory corruption in error handling related to that commit.
