Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] drm/bridge: synopsys: dw-dp: Drop useless memory allocation
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 00:44:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310-drm-rk-fixes-v2-8-645ecfb43f49@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260310-drm-rk-fixes-v2-0-645ecfb43f49@collabora.com>
The bridge gets allocated and initialized implicitly via the
devm_drm_bridge_alloc() helper in dw_dp_bind(). However, this is
preceded by an explicit allocation for the same dw_dp struct, which is
never used anywhere as the return from devm_kzalloc() gets immediately
overwritten by the aforementioned helper.
Get rid of the unnecessary and confusing memory allocation.
