[bug report] drm/rockchip: dw_hdmi: Propagate bus format to display driver

[Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com>]

Hello Jonas Karlman,

Commit dc70272cc184 ("drm/rockchip: dw_hdmi: Propagate bus format to
display driver") from May 18, 2026 (linux-next), leads to the
following Smatch static checker warning:

	drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw_hdmi-rockchip.c:289 dw_hdmi_rockchip_get_bus_format()
	warn: 'bridge_state' is an error pointer or valid

drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw_hdmi-rockchip.c
    278 static u32 dw_hdmi_rockchip_get_bus_format(struct drm_encoder *encoder,
    279                                            struct drm_connector_state *conn_state)
    280 {
    281         struct drm_bridge *bridge __free(drm_bridge_put) = NULL;
    282         struct drm_bridge_state *bridge_state;
    283 
    284         bridge = drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(encoder);
    285         if (!bridge)
    286                 return 0;
    287 
    288         bridge_state = drm_atomic_get_bridge_state(conn_state->state, bridge);
--> 289         if (!bridge_state)

drm_atomic_get_bridge_state() never returns NULL, only error pointers.

    290                 return 0;
    291 
    292         if (bridge_state->input_bus_cfg.format != MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED)
    293                 return bridge_state->input_bus_cfg.format;
    294 
    295         return bridge_state->output_bus_cfg.format;
    296 }
