I just find the description here, and I don't know why new helper need atomic_check().
Would you provide more information how new helper need atomic_check()?
For example, the call stack to atomic_check(). (You could use dump_stack() to show it)

        /**
        * @atomic_check:
        *
        * This method is responsible for checking bridge state correctness.
        * It can also check the state of the surrounding components in chain
        * to make sure the whole pipeline can work properly.
        *
        * &drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_check() hooks are called in reverse
        * order (from the last to the first bridge).
        *
        * This method is optional. &drm_bridge_funcs.mode_fixup() is not
        * called when &drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_check() is implemented, so only
        * one of them should be provided.
        *
        * If drivers need to tweak &drm_bridge_state.input_bus_cfg.flags or
        * &drm_bridge_state.output_bus_cfg.flags it should happen in
        * this function. By default the &drm_bridge_state.output_bus_cfg.flags
        * field is set to the next bridge
        * &drm_bridge_state.input_bus_cfg.flags value or
        * &drm_connector.display_info.bus_flags if the bridge is the last
        * element in the chain.
        *
        * RETURNS:
        * zero if the check passed, a negative error code otherwise.
