The current documentation for drm_connector_unregister() mentions that it's needed for connectors that have been registered through drm_dev_register(). However, this was a typo and was meant to be drm_connector_register(), which only applies to connectors registered after drm_dev_register() has been called. In addition, it was also mentioning that connectors are unregistered automatically when drm_dev_unregister() is called. This part is a bit misleading, since it might make it appear that drm_connector_unregister() applies either to all connectors, or none of them. After discussing it with Daniel, it appears that we always need to call drm_connector_unregister() on connectors that have been registered with drm_connector_register(), but only those. drm_connector_init() already mentions that it only needs drm_connector_cleanup(), so let's clarify the drm_connector_register() and drm_connector_unregister() documentation to point at each other, and remove the misleading part about drm_dev_unregister().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
