I don't think handing off the cleanup responsibility is really in question
here. I.e. I do believe it should also be fine to expect (as definition) the
core driver to cleanup the encoder _after_ it sucessfully claimed it in
dw_hdmi_bind().

We do the same in the rockchip power-domains, handing off the struct clk-
pointer to the pm_clk stuff (due to the clk-pointer being unique per-device
nowadays).

So just making sure it is sucessfully handed off should also be ok.
