Subject: [PATCH 10/10] drm: of: forbid bridge-only calls to drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge()
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:58:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-panel_or_bridge-v1-10-acd01cd79a1f@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-panel_or_bridge-v1-0-acd01cd79a1f@bootlin.com>

Up to now drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() can be called with a bridge pointer
only, a panel pointer only, or both a bridge and a panel pointers. The
logic to handle all the three cases is somewhat complex to read however.

Now all bridge-only callers have been converted to
of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint(), which is simpler and handles bridge
refcounting. So forbid new bridge-only users by mandating a non-NULL panel
pointer in the docs and in the sanity checks along with a warning.
