[PATCH v6 2/9] drm/amd/display: use drmm allocation for writeback connector

From: Dmitry Baryshkov

Date: Fri Jun 12 2026 - 14:30:31 EST


Currently memory used for writeback connectors isn't freed on driver
unbinding, leaking the memory. Use drm_device-memory allocation
function for the writeback connector, making sure that the memory is
freed on the driver unbinding.
