Re: [Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 7/7] drm/connector: add ref to drm_connector_get in iter docs

Pushed this one doc patch with Daniel's R-b on IRC.

[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 7/7] drm/connector: add ref to drm_connector_get in iter docs

[Simon Ser]

Mention that connectors need to be referenced manually if they are
to be accessed after the iteration has progressed or ended.
