I'm trying to reproduce such situation, but so fail I fail.

In the driver there's a guard to avoid calling into DRM functions
when disabled:
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE)

so I wonder which kind on config leaded to that since
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE is only enabled when DRM_PANEL and DRM are.
