This patch isn't needed on 4.4 or the 4.9 stable branches. This was required
only after drm_bridge API was changed with the commit:

(3bb80f2495) drm: bridge: Link encoder and bridge in core code

This was merged only in 4.11.

Thanks,
Archit

Great, thanks for the review, they are now dropped from 4.4 and 4.9.
