Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] drm/bridge: convert users of of_drm_find_bridge(), part 4
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:23:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409-drm-bridge-alloc-getput-drm_of_find_bridge-4-v5-0-d7381c07788a@bootlin.com> (raw)
This series converts many DRM drivers from the now deprecated
of_drm_find_bridge() to its replacement of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() which
allows correct bridge refcounting.
This is part of the work to support hotplug of DRM bridges. The grand plan
was discussed in [0].
Here's the work breakdown (➜ marks the current series):
1. ➜ add refcounting to DRM bridges struct drm_bridge,
based on devm_drm_bridge_alloc()
A. ✔ add new alloc API and refcounting (v6.16)
B. ✔ convert all bridge drivers to new API (v6.17)
C. ✔ kunit tests (v6.17)
D. ✔ add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detach()
and warn on old allocation pattern (v6.17)
E. ➜ add get/put on drm_bridge accessors
1. ✔ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(), add cleanup action (v6.18)
2. ✔ drm_bridge_get_prev_bridge() (v6.18)
3. ✔ drm_bridge_get_next_bridge() (v6.19)
4. ✔ drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain() (v6.19)
5. ✔ drm_bridge_connector_init (v6.19)
6. … protect encoder bridge chain with a mutex
7. ➜ of_drm_find_bridge
a. ✔ add of_drm_get_bridge() (v7.0),
convert basic direct users (v7.0-v7.1)
b. ✔ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 2 (v7.0)
c. ✔ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 3 (v7.0)
d. ➜ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 4
(some v7.1, some pending)
e. convert bridge-only drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() users
8. drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge, *_of_get_bridge
9. ✔ enforce drm_bridge_add before drm_bridge_attach (v6.19)
F. ✔ debugfs improvements
1. ✔ add top-level 'bridges' file (v6.16)
2. ✔ show refcount and list lingering bridges (v6.19)
2. … handle gracefully atomic updates during bridge removal
A. ✔ Add drm_bridge_enter/exit() to protect device resources (v7.0)
B. … protect private_obj removal from list
C. ✔ Add drm_bridge_clear_and_put() (v7.1)
3. … DSI host-device driver interaction
4. ✔ removing the need for the "always-disconnected" connector
5. … Migrate i.MX LCDIF driver to bridge-connector
6. DRM bridge hotplug
A. Bridge hotplug management in the DRM core
B. Device tree description
[0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250206-hotplug-drm-bridge-v6-0-9d6f2c9c3058@bootlin.com/#t
This work is a continuation of the work to correctly handle bridge
refcounting for existing of_drm_find_bridge(). The ground work is in:
- commit 293a8fd7721a ("drm/bridge: add of_drm_find_and_get_bridge()")
- commit 9da0e06abda8 ("drm/bridge: deprecate of_drm_find_bridge()")
- commit 3fdeae134ba9 ("drm/bridge: add next_bridge pointer to struct drm_bridge")
The whole conversion is split in multiple series to make the review process
a bit smoother:
- Part 2: mostly drivers in drivers/gpu/drm/bridge [2], applied
- Part 3: other drivers, low-medium complexity [3], applied
- Part 4: other drivers, converting the most complex cases [this series]
