My patches only affect drm_atomic_bridge_chain_post_disable(), whereas
Jagan's patch affects both
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_post_disable() and drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable().
I tested Jagan's patch on my system with success and I reviewed with
Michael Trimarchi the
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable() fixing and we think it's okay.
We also believe that our changes to post_disable() are better, as we
set the 'next' variable only when required,
and the code is more optimized since the list_is_last() is not called
within the loop.
Would it be possible to use Jagan's patch for fixing
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable() and mine for
fixing drm_atomic_bridge_chain_post_disable()?

Thanks and regards,
Dario
