Patch Review

**Commit message:** The description has formatting/spacing issues ("CompliantwithD-PHY1.2" etc. with missing spaces). Looks like copy-pasted datasheet text without cleanup.

#### Critical Bugs

1. **Wrong Kconfig symbol.** The Kconfig adds `DRM_LONTIUM_LT9611C` (a DSI/HDMI bridge) but the Makefile references `DRM_LONTIUM_LT7911EXC`. The Kconfig entry describes the wrong chip entirely — it mentions "DSI to HDMI" and selects `SND_SOC_HDMI_CODEC`, `DRM_DISPLAY_HDMI_STATE_HELPER`, etc. which are irrelevant for an eDP-to-MIPI bridge. This is clearly a copy-paste from a different chip's Kconfig that was never updated.

```
+config DRM_LONTIUM_LT9611C
+	tristate "Lontium LT9611C DSI/HDMI bridge"
```

Should be:
```
config DRM_LONTIUM_LT7911EXC
	tristate "Lontium LT7911EXC eDP/MIPI bridge"
```

And the selected symbols should match what the driver actually needs (no HDMI helpers, no SND_SOC_HDMI_CODEC, etc.). The driver needs at minimum `REGMAP_I2C`, `FW_LOADER`, and `DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE`.

2. **Buffer overflow in `lt7911exc_read_version`.** The buffer is declared as `u8 buf[2]` but `regmap_bulk_read` is called with count 3:

```c
u8 buf[2];
...
ret = regmap_bulk_read(lt7911exc->regmap, 0xe081, buf, 3);
...
return (buf[0] << 16) | (buf[1] << 8) | buf[2];
```

This writes one byte past the buffer and accesses `buf[2]` which is out of bounds. The buffer must be `u8 buf[3]`.

3. **`lt7911exc_write_data` never advances the flash address correctly.** The function calls `lt7911exc_prog_init(lt7911exc, addr)` inside the loop, but `addr` is the *parameter* which is `0` when called from `lt7911exc_firmware_upgrade`. The local `addr += LT_PAGE_SIZE` at the end of the loop advances a local copy, but `addr` is a parameter passed by value — wait, actually `addr` *is* the local since it's a parameter, so `addr += LT_PAGE_SIZE` does advance it correctly through the loop. That part is OK on re-inspection.

#### Missing Headers

The driver uses many APIs without including the proper headers:

- `struct drm_bridge`, `drm_bridge_add`, `drm_bridge_attach`, etc. — needs `#include <drm/drm_bridge.h>`
- `struct regulator_bulk_data`, `regulator_enable/disable` — needs `#include <linux/regulator/consumer.h>`
- `module_i2c_driver`, `MODULE_*` — needs `#include <linux/module.h>`
- `mutex_init`, `mutex_lock` — needs `#include <linux/mutex.h>`
- `msleep`, `usleep_range` — needs `#include <linux/delay.h>`
- `kzalloc`, `kfree` — needs `#include <linux/slab.h>`

The driver only includes `<linux/crc32.h>`, `<linux/firmware.h>`, `<linux/gpio/consumer.h>`, `<linux/i2c.h>`, `<linux/regmap.h>`, and `<drm/drm_of.h>`. It compiles by accident through transitive includes, which is fragile.

#### Design / Architecture Issues

4. **Firmware upgrade during probe is problematic.** The driver does synchronous firmware loading (`request_firmware`) and flash programming during `probe()`. This blocks the boot path and is generally discouraged. Use `request_firmware_nowait` or a sysfs trigger, or at minimum document why synchronous loading is required. The firmware upgrade also erases and reprograms the chip's flash every time the firmware version reads as 0, with no user control.

5. **`lt7911exc_block_erase` ignores errors.** `regmap_multi_reg_write` can fail, but the return value is silently discarded. Then the code sleeps 200ms and assumes success. Same issue in `lt7911exc_prog_init`.

6. **`cal_crc32_custom` has no bounds check.** If `length` is not a multiple of 4, the function reads past the end of `data` since it accesses `data[i+3]` etc. The caller happens to pass `FW_SIZE - 4` which is a multiple of 4, but the function itself is fragile. Also, using `u64` for the length/index of a 64KB buffer is unnecessary — `size_t` would be appropriate.

7. **`lt7911exc_regulator_enable/disable` should use `regulator_bulk_enable/disable`.** The manual sequencing with individual `regulator_enable` calls and the manual cleanup in the error path is exactly what the bulk APIs handle.

8. **Inconsistent i2c_device_id format.** The table has a space in the wrong place:

```c
{"lontium, lt7911exc", 0},
```

This should be `"lontium,lt7911exc"` (no space) to match the compatible string in the DT binding, or better yet just drop the `i2c_device_id` table entirely since DT matching via `of_match_table` is sufficient and the i2c_device_id is not used for DT-based probing.

9. **`lt7911exc_attach` uses `lt7911exc->bridge.encoder` instead of the `encoder` parameter.** While these should be the same value at the point `attach` is called, it's cleaner and more correct to use the parameter directly:

```c
return drm_bridge_attach(lt7911exc->bridge.encoder, lt7911exc->panel_bridge,
			 &lt7911exc->bridge, flags);
```

Should be:
```c
return drm_bridge_attach(encoder, lt7911exc->panel_bridge,
			 &lt7911exc->bridge, flags);
```

10. **`lt7911exc_disable` is a no-op with just a sleep.** If the only purpose is a delay, this should be documented. A bare `msleep(20)` with a vague comment "Delay after panel is disabled" is not informative. Consider whether this delay actually belongs here or if the hardware requires it (and if so, document the requirement).

11. **`lt7911exc_upgrade_result` reads CRC from address 0x22** — this is a raw page-relative register address, not a full 16-bit address. Given the regmap range configuration, this will read from page 0 register 0x22. If this is intentional it should have a comment; if not, it's a bug (the other register accesses use full 16-bit addresses like `0xe081`).

12. **`goto retry` pattern.** Using goto for retry logic in probe is unusual and harder to follow. A simple loop with a retry count would be clearer.

13. **`enabled` flag is racy.** The `enabled` bool is checked/set in `pre_enable`/`post_disable` without any locking. While DRM serializes bridge calls in practice, the field pattern is fragile.

14. **Memory leak on firmware upgrade failure paths.** In `lt7911exc_firmware_upgrade`, if `lt7911exc_write_data` fails, the function returns without calling `release_firmware`. The caller `lt7911exc_probe` checks `lt7911exc->fw` in the error path, so this is partially handled, but the cleanup logic is split across two functions making it easy to miss.

15. **`lt7911exc_post_disable` sets reset GPIO to 0 (deasserted) after disabling regulators.** Setting GPIO state after cutting power to the chip is pointless and potentially harmful depending on the board design (leaking current through GPIO into unpowered chip).

#### Minor Style Issues

- Indentation error in `cal_crc32_custom`: the closing brace of the for loop uses a tab+tab indent instead of one tab.
- The `bridge_to_lt7911exc` inline function has unusual line-breaking with excessive indentation.
- Mixed use of `dev_err`/`dev_dbg` — some error paths silently return without logging.
