[PATCH v4 03/11] drm/msm/hdmi: switch to of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint()

From: Luca Ceresoli

Date: Mon May 04 2026 - 06:46:40 EST


This driver calls drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() with a NULL pointer in the
@panel parameter, thus using a reduced feature set of that function.
Replace this call with the simpler of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint().

Since of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint() increases the refcount of the
returned bridge, ensure it is put on removal.

Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- ensure next_bridge is put on later probe failures

Changes in v3:
- fix ERR_PTR deref when -ENODEV is returned
