The "dp" object only lives while &pdev->dev is alive, both logically and
as its devres allocated on &pdev-dev. So for this reference I don't see
that we should refcount it.

The Qualcomm DisplayPort driver has per-c-file private context structs
and "dp" is one such object. So I simply can't dereference it and get to
pdev from the other c-file in the same driver...

But I only need it in dp_drm.c to during initialization to get a
reference to the associated fwnode, so it seems that I can rework this
and pass the pointer as a parameter to dp_drm_connector_init().

That looks to be cleaner as well.
