It would be wonderful, for my understanding today, as well as people in the coming months to be able to search for the callstack etc on the mailing list, if you could provide some details about the crash.

E.g. a callstack or description of when it happens.

pointer dereference of dp_panel->connector while running DP link layer compliance test case 4.2.2.6 (EDIDCorruption Detection). This patch will fixed the problem by populating connector of dp_panel.

• dp_panel->connector = connector;

So you have a dp_display_private object with a panel and a connector allocated, but before you manage to associate the two you get a HPD event and call this function, so you decide to stitch the two together just here in some piece of code unrelated to the initialization of your objects?

It sounds like we're lacking synchronization between the initialization and the HPD interrupts and this would not be the correct solution.
