connectors 39, crtc 36
failed to set mode: Function not implemented

Without your series applied, modetest -s works correctly.

Due to the failure, I couldn't test your drm_bridge_get_current_state() to
see if I can retrieve the drm_bridge_state from my sn65dsi83_reset_pipe()
function.

Also, I have some local commits related to Luca's work about DRM bridge
hot-pluggin stuff on my test branch.

It will not be easy for me to test your series without them as my TI
sn65dsi83 bridge is behind a connector and I need some Luca's modification
to have a functional system. Sorry about that.

Hope that the kernel WARN log provided here will ring you a bell.

Feel free to ask for more information if needed.

Best regards,
Hervé
