Yes, the reason is there's a patch conflict and I still have to find out
how to handle it.

Patch 3 by the rules [0] should go to drm-misc-fixes because the bug (added
by [1]) is already on Linus' master tree (since v6.17), but it does not
apply there due to a conflict with an unrelated change [2] currently on
drm-misc-next.

Note that [1] and [2] are the two commits mentioned in your 'Fixes: 'tags.

I had a chat with Maxime on #dir-devel about how to handle this situation
but still haven't got a final answer.

I guess the correct way is:

 1. apply patch 3 on drm-misc-next, where it applies cleanly
 2. send a modified patch for drm-misc-fixes, to fix ASAP the master branch

Would you send the patch as in item 2, so it can be applied to
drm-misc-fixes and have master fixed ASAP? Note iit should not mention [2]
in the Fixes: tag because [2] is not yet on master. I can send it of course
but you can test on hardware so that would be the best option (and I'm a
bit overloaded at the moment).

[0] https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/committer/committer-drm-misc.html
[1] commit 99764593528f ("drm/bridge: imx8qxp-pixel-combiner: convert to devm_drm_bridge_alloc() API")
[2] commit ae754f049ce1 ("drm/bridge: imx8qxp-pixel-combiner: get/put the next bridge")
