of_drm_find_bridge() is deprecated.
Replace it with of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() which increments
the bridge refcount as required.

Thanks for taking care of the conversion to the new API!

This change alone is not correct I'm afraid. The difference between
of_drm_find_bridge() and of_drm_find_and_get_bridge() is the latter get a
reference to the bridge, so you have to put that reference when the bridge
pointer is no more accessible.

Have a look at previous commits doing the same API replacement, you can
find examples similar to this one, where:

 * the bridge pointer is stored in a local variable (not saved in a struct)
 * the bridge pointer could be set wither by of_drm_find_bridge() or
   a function adding a panel bridge

I suspect you may be talking to a machine (possibly through a human
proxy).

Hi

Thanks for the feedback. I did reference commit 7282066e55347 (Luca's
earlier conversion) but I should have been more cautious since the
patch I submitted was a bit too simple/"dummy".

To answer Laurent's question: I did not test this on hardware.
I was working through the deprecated API TODO  list and made the
mistake of treating this as a simple find-and-replace.

I'll send a v2.
Thanks for the patience...

 Regards,
 Amin

Luca has already submitted a patch, see

How did you test this ?
