Re: [PATCH v3 3/3] drm/vc4: dpi: inline vc4_dpi_init_bridge() into vc4_dpi_bind()

Hi Luca,
If you go ahead with this patch, could you merge it with [1/3]
Personally, I prefer to keep it as a separate function. vc4_dpi_bind()
is already a big function, with several initializations. I have the
impression that vc4_dpi_init_bridge() makes the error handling more
clear.
But that's bikeshed territory...
Best regards,

There isn't much benefit in this small static function. Inline it in the
caller.
