Marc reported that his Exynos5250 Snow Chromebook fails to boot with v4.7-rc.

I've done a git bisect and tracked down to this commit. The problem is a NULL
pointer dereference to connector->dev in drm_mode_create(connector->dev) when
called from exynos_dp_get_modes(). The error log is at [1]. 

I'm trying to figure out the issue but wanted to mention in case you have any
hints about what could be the cause. AFAICT the problem is related to the fact
that drm_connector_init() is called in analogix_dp_bridge_attach() and the
connector passed as argument is the one in struct analogix_dp_device *dp, but
later exynos_dp_get_modes() calls drm_mode_create() passing the connector in
struct exynos_dp_device *dp, which has not been previously initialized.
