Hi Kieran,

I'm getting started in the DRM subsystem. I couldn't tell if there is a
good way to access the panel pointer... I didn't manage to find it, but
hopefully someone with more experience can point us to a solution.

Since you mentioned display port, I'm not sure if in your case checking
"pdata->next_bridge->type" could be good enough.

Anyway, if this patch causes you problems, please go ahead and ignore it.
I'm sure the series you are working on are more important than removing
a deprecated function :)

Best wishes,
Jose
