Hi,

I stumbled upon this when investigating the same WARN_ON on amdgpu.
Thanks for the patch :)

In the case where the property has not been created beforehand, you
forgot to reinitialize prop here, after calling
drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property().  This means
drm_object_property_set_value() will be called with a NULL second argument
and Oops the kernel.
