[PATCH RFC v2 19/19] drm/bridge: analogix_dp: don't create a panel_bridge
From: Luca Ceresoli
Date: Thu Sep 03 2026 - 05:12:34 EST
Now a panel_bridge is automatically created for every drm_panel, so this
call to devm_drm_panel_bridge_add() would lead to creating a second bridge
for the same panel.
Update and simplify the code by just getting a reference to the
already-existing bridge.
as of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint() returns a refcounted bridge, take care
of putting the bridge reference. This is not easily done in the remove path
due to the different probe paths of the user drivers, so add a devm action
to ensure the reference is put only when it was taken.
