In this error path you should call drm_dev_exit(). The convention in the
kernel usually is to have a goto label for this, e.g.:
if (drm_gem_fb_begin_cpu_access(fb, DMA_FROM_DEVICE))
goto out_drm_dev_exit;
> drm_atomic_helper_damage_iter_init(&iter, old_plane_state, plane_state);
> drm_atomic_for_each_plane_damage(&iter, &damage) {

and then here before the call you could have the label.
out_drm_dev_exit:
> drm_dev_exit(idx);
Same comments for the other places where you are adding the
drm_gem_fb_end_cpu*() calls next to the drm_dev*() ones.
After the mentioned changes:
