Subject: [PATCH 06/26] drm/bridge: add devm_drm_of_find_bridge
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:05:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-drm_of_find_bridge-v1-6-0db98a7fe474@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-drm_of_find_bridge-v1-0-0db98a7fe474@bootlin.com>
Several drivers (about 20) follow the same pattern:
1. get a pointer to a bridge (typically the next bridge in the chain) by
calling of_drm_find_bridge()
2. store the returned pointer in the private driver data, keep it until
driver .remove
3. dereference the pointer at attach time and possibly at other times
of_drm_find_bridge() is now deprecated because it does not increment the
refcount and should be replaced with drm_of_find_bridge() +
drm_bridge_put().
However some of those drivers have a complex code flow and adding a
drm_bridge_put() call in all the appropriate locations is error-prone,
leads to ugly and more complex code, and can lead to errors over time with
code flow changes.
To handle all those drivers in a straightforward way, add a devm variant of
drm_of_find_bridge() that adds a devm action to invoke drm_bridge_put()
when the said driver is removed. This allows all those drivers to put the
reference automatically and safely with a one line change:
- priv->next_bridge = of_drm_find_bridge(remote_np);
+ priv->next_bridge = devm_drm_of_find_bridge(dev, remote_np);
