In case if we get errors in cdns_mhdp_link_up() or cdns_mhdp_reg_read()
in atomic_enable, we will go to cdns_mhdp_modeset_retry_fn() and will hit
NULL pointer while trying to access the mutex. We need the connector to
be set before that. Unlike in legacy !(DBANC) cases, we do not have
connector initialised in bridge_attach(). So set the mhdp->connector
in atomic_enable() earlier to avoid possible NULL pointer.

It looks like you should reorder your commits: first apply the DBANC
fixes, then drop support for !DBANC.

Before dropping !DBANC support, we can't change the connector to pointer cleanly

by cleanly I mean,the driver should be build correctly after applying each commit.

So, if the patches which fixes the bug of NULL pointer de reference due to DBNAC

are applied before dropping the code related to !DBANC code will result in build failure.

Hence the sequencing of commits.
