Hi Jayesh,

Thank you for testing this out, and reporting the error I had
overlooked.

That is true.

Yes, the encoder_bridge_enable() is supposed to call
bridge_chain_enable() instead of bridge_chain_pre_enable().

While your report is right, I couldn't take this diff as is. The
bridge_chain_enable has to still happen _after_ all the encoders are
enabled inside this function (unlike the bridge_chain_pre_enable that
would happen before the encoder_enable).

Thank you!

I have posted the patch[0], and I have taken the liberty to accept the
tag despite the change in the way I have fixed the error. If that is
unacceptable, please do let me know and I will remove it in a newer
revision.
