Change in v15:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. Remove the Reviewed-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@oss.qualcomm.com> tag.
 2. Adjust the design architecture of the chip's MIPI host and bridge.
 3. remove devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed and drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge
 4. Use REGCACHE_NONE to avoid cache inconsistency due to internal MCU modifying registers asynchronously

Change in v14:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. [High] AB-BA / self-deadlock between the bridge's ocm_lock and DRM modeset                             [sashiko-bot]
    locks during hotplug notification. - fixed
 2. [High] Freeing the panel bridge in lt7911exc_dsi_host_detach while it is still
    attached to the DRM bridge chain causes a Use-After-Free. - fixed
- Link to v13: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260529094547.869919-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v13:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. [High] Dangling pointer created during MIPI DSI host detach if the downstream                           [sashiko-bot]
           device is a bridge rather than a panel. - fixed
 2. [High] Firmware upgrade CRC mismatch due to unpadded partial page writes.
           - hardware erases the entire flash area into a default state of 0xff. When doing
             a partial page short write，the total unwritten residual bytes on the physical
             flash sector inherently retain their 0xff state. Therefore, no modification is required.
 3. [High] Firmware upgrade workqueue accesses `bridge.dev` without ensuring the DRM device is alive,
           leading to a Use-After-Free. - fixed
 4. [High] Regmap page selector cache desynchronization after device reset causes firmware upgrade
           commands to be routed to the wrong register page. - fixed
- Link to v12: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260525010545.9470-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v12:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. Move the cleanup work of drm_panel_bridge_remove() forward into lt7911exc_dsi_host_detach().                        [sashiko-bot]
 2. Do not hold any lock during lt7911exc_reset().
- Link to v11: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260522015735.2833-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v11:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. Removed Reviewed-by, we would appreciate it if the maintainer could help review this.
 2. Use devm_gpiod_get(,, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH) to fix the reset GPIO backpowering issue.                                       [sashiko-bot]
 3. Fixed Use-After-Free vulnerability due to dynamic DRM bridge removal in DSI detach callback.
 4. Fixed Use-After-Free of regmap during DRM teardown because firmware upgrade worker defeats removal safeguard.
 5. Fixed firmware upgrade performs a hardware reset, causing silent loss of DRM state and a blank screen.
 6. Use of kmalloc for a 64KB software buffer is susceptible to memory fragmentation failures - Fix by using kvmalloc
 7. Use the 'lt7911exc->ocm_lock' mutex and the 'lt7911exc->upgrade' flag to resolve the race condition between
    DRM atomic modeset and firmware upgrade.
 8. Use the 'lt7911exc->upgrade_lock' mutex to prevent redundant upgrades.
 9. Use the 'lt7911exc->removed' flag to prevent the driver from being triggered to upgrade during the unload process.
- Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260519135816.26996-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v10:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. Fixed the firmware upgrade error paths to always clear the upgrade
    flag before returning, including firmware size validation failures
    and allocation failures.                                                                [sashiko-bot]
 2. Added proper locking in lt7911exc_atomic_pre_enable() and
    lt7911exc_atomic_post_disable() to serialize register accesses with the
    firmware upgrade flow and avoid concurrent I2C transactions.
 3. Added an exclusivity check in lt7911exc_dsi_host_attach() to reject multiple
    downstream attachments and prevent repeated drm_bridge_add() calls and panel bridge leaks.
 4. Reworked lt7911exc_firmware_store() to use mutex_trylock() so concurrent sysfs writers
    immediately return -EBUSY instead of blocking behind an active firmware upgrade.
 5. Updated the remove path to prevent new firmware upgrade work from being queued after
    device removal by setting the upgrade state before cancelling the worker.
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260519105019.22622-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v9:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. DSI transfer callback returns success for reads without populating                        [sashiko-bot]
    the receive buffer, leaking uninitialized memory. - fixed it by
    implementing  a strict whitelist mechanism.
 2. DSI transfer callback polls for eDP video readiness before the
    upstream encoder is enabled, guaranteeing a timeout. - removed
 3. The driver attempts I2C transfers while the hardware is held in
    physical reset. - fixed
 4. Missing DRM_MIPI_DSI Kconfig dependency causes linker errors. - fixed
 5. request_firmware is called while holding the hardware lock and
    halting the MCU, risking a system pipeline stall. - fixed
 6. Sleeping functions are called from atomic context in the DRM bridge callbacks. - fixed
 7. lt7911exc_dsi_host_transfer bypasses the required MCU hardware halt sequence. - fixed by
    internal firmware controls the panel initialization sequence and handles all MIPI
    DSI command transmission.
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260515080934.9870-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v8:
- dt-binding:
- drm/bridge:
 1. Protect firmware upgrade and DRM bridge callback paths with ocm_lock.          [sashiko-bot]
 2. Remove the hardware reset from the remove callback, and ensure that
    all hardware reset operations are protected by ocm_lock.
 3. crc reconstruction explicitly casts each byte to u32 before shifting
 4. The display configuration is handled by the firmware, and the MIPI
    DSI host registration issue has been fixed.
 5. The batch register read/write operations have already been updated
    to include return value checking.
 6. The dev_err_probe() used outside of probe context has been fixed.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260512064013.40066-1-syyang@lontium.com/

Change in v7:
- dt-binding:
 1. fix commit message typos(Receiver、signal)                            [sashiko-bot]
 2. remove the ambiguity caused by "signal/dual".
- drm/bridge:
 1. using devm_regulator_get_enable avoids power leaks.                   [sashiko-bot]
 2. set reset gpio is low after cutting off power in lt7911exc_remove function, avoid backpowering.
 3. synchronous request_firmware() call cause a permanent probe failure if the driver is built-in,
    probe executes before the root filesystem is mounted, which would cause this to fail with -ENOENT,
    we have removed this functionality. Use trigger to upgrade.
 4. add `depends on I2C` and `select REGMAP_I2C` in Kconfig.
 5. add return value of `devm_drm_bridge_add()` in `probe()`.
 6. add directly header files (linux/slab.h, linux/delay.h, linux/regulator/consumer.h)

[PATCH v15 2/2] drm/bridge: Add Lontium LT7911EXC eDP to MIPI DSI bridge

[syyang]

From: Sunyun Yang <syyang@lontium.com>

Add support for the Lontium LT7911EXC bridge chip, which converts
eDP input to MIPI DSI output using an internal firmware-controlled
pipeline.

The driver provides:
- DRM bridge integration for eDP-to-DSI routing
- MIPI DSI host interface for downstream panel attachment
- Firmware upgrade mechanism over I2C (erase/program/verify)
- GPIO-based reset and regulator management

Display timing and MIPI DCS packet generation are handled by the chip
firmware and are not configured by the driver.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] Non-standard generic node name used in the device tree example. The Devicetree specification recommends using standard generic names for device nodes to represent the class of the device rather than the specific model or bus type (e.g., `bridge@` instead of `mipi-bridge@`).

dt-bindings: bridge: Add Lontium LT7911EXC eDP to MIPI DSI bridge

This commit adds the device tree binding schema for the Lontium LT7911EXC.
It documents an I2C-controlled bridge that converts eDP 1.4 input to MIPI
DSI output.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should this node name use a standard generic name like
bridge@41 instead of mipi-bridge@41? The Devicetree specification recommends
using standard generic names to represent the class of the device rather
than the specific bus type, which helps avoid dt-schema warnings.

Re: [PATCH v15 2/2] drm/bridge: Add Lontium LT7911EXC eDP to MIPI DSI bridge

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] `devm_drm_of_get_bridge()` in the hot-pluggable `lt7911exc_dsi_host_attach()` callback leaks devres memory and causes use-after-free upon panel unbind/rebind.
- [High] Double removal of the DRM bridge due to a flawed `list_empty` check in `lt7911exc_remove()`, leading to double mutex destruction and use-after-free.
- [High] Firmware upgrade clears the `upgrade` flag AFTER sending the hotplug event, causing potential modesets to fail silently.
- [Medium] Direct mutation of `pre_enable_prev_first` on an external `drm_bridge` object owned by a downstream driver.

drm/bridge: Add Lontium LT7911EXC eDP to MIPI DSI bridge
    
Add support for the Lontium LT7911EXC bridge chip, which converts
eDP input to MIPI DSI output using an internal firmware-controlled
pipeline.

[Severity: High]
Could this hotplug event fire before the upgrade flag is cleared?

Since drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() triggers modesets synchronously
(or fast async), it might call lt7911exc_atomic_pre_enable() while
lt7911exc->upgrade is still true. If that happens, pre_enable() will
silently skip writing the hardware enable registers, resulting in a 
black screen.

Would it be safer to clear the upgrade flag before firing the hotplug
event?

[Severity: High]
Could this devm allocation leak devres memory and cause a use-after-free?

The devm_drm_of_get_bridge() allocation is tied to the host device
(lt7911exc->dev), but it runs in lt7911exc_dsi_host_attach() which can
be called repeatedly if the downstream DSI panel is unbound and rebound.

Because the allocation is tied to the host device, it won't be freed until
the host driver unbinds. This leaks memory on every panel rebind. Also, the
retained drm_panel_bridge will hold a dangling pointer after the panel is
destroyed, risking a use-after-free if accessed later.

> +	lt7911exc->output_bridge->pre_enable_prev_first = false;

[Severity: Medium]
Is it safe to directly mutate the state of an external bridge object?

This output_bridge is owned and managed by the downstream driver. Setting
its pre_enable_prev_first field from this host driver violates object
ownership and could override necessary configuration expected by the
downstream driver.

[Severity: High]
Will this result in a double free of the bridge?

During module unload, mipi_dsi_host_unregister() detaches all DSI children,
which calls lt7911exc_dsi_host_detach(). That explicitly calls
drm_bridge_remove() and moves the list node to the global
bridge_lingering_list.

When execution reaches this list_empty() check, it will evaluate to false
because the node is on the lingering list (and its next pointer isn't
pointing to itself). This causes drm_bridge_remove() to be erroneously
called a second time on the same bridge, leading to a double free and
double mutex_destroy().
