[PATCH 3/3] drm/drv: stop mentioning deprecated drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() in docs
From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 14:42:19 EST
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() is deprecated. Update the "component helper
usage recommendations" docs by mentioning the currently recommended API.
Also stop mentioning drm_panel because now every drm_panel embeds a
drm_bridge and the drm_bridge API is recommended to access panels too.
