Hm, what do you mean by removed? AFAICT, a property, once attached to
a DRM object, exists until the DRM object is destroyed. The data
attached to this property (here, the gamma_lut array) can be NULL, but
once you have allocated the data container, it will be duplicated (and
possibly updated) every time an atomic operation is triggered.

By initializing this field in crtc->reset(), you enforce the
default/reset state, which IIUC, is what you want here.
