The above code seems unneeded now, I think you can drop it too.

Yes, I considered removing it as well. However, I was wondering if it 
might still be valuable to return early when the endpoint isn't found, 
to clearly indicate that the panel port is missing.

That error is covered by the devm_drm_of_get_bridge() call below, so I
think you can drop the code above.

Sure, I will drop the device node "port" as well.
