Subject: [PATCH 01/10] drm/bridge: add of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint()
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:58:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-panel_or_bridge-v1-1-acd01cd79a1f@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-panel_or_bridge-v1-0-acd01cd79a1f@bootlin.com>
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() is widely used, but many callers pass NULL
into the @panel or the @bridge arguments, thus making a very partial usage
of this rather complex function.
Besides, the bridge returned in @bridge is not refcounted, thus making this
API unsafe when DRM bridge hotplug will be introduced.
Solve both issues for the cases of calls to drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge()
with a NULL @panel pointer by adding a new function that only looks for
bridges (and is thus much simpler) and increments the refcount of the
returned bridge.
The new function is identical to drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() except it:
- handles bridge refcounting: uses of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() instead of
of_drm_find_bridge() internally to return a refcounted bridge
- is slightly simpler to use: just takes no @panel parameter
- has a simpler implementation: it is equal to
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() after removing the code that becomes dead
when @panel == NULL
Also add this function to drm_bridge.c and not drm_of.c because it returns
bridges only.
