Thanks for your patch Paul, it fixed a regression on a device where I
have a eDP bridge with an of_graph and a aux-bus defined.

But unfortunately it does not resolve the regression I have for the
USB based DisplayPort setup described below.


In the Qualcomm DisplayPort driver We're calling:

	devm_drm_of_get_bridge(dev, dev->of_node, 1, 0);

and with the following DT snippet the behavior changed:

displayport-controller@ae90000 {
	compatible = "qcom,sc8180x-dp";
	...

	operating-points-v2 = <&dp0_opp_table>;

	ports {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;

		port@0 {
			reg = <0>;
			dp0_in: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&display_driver>;
			};
		};
	};

	dp0_opp_table: opp-table {
		...;
	};
};

Prior to the introduction of 80253168dbfd ("drm: of: Lookup if child
node has panel or bridge") this would return -ENODEV, so we could
differentiate the case when we have a statically defined eDP panel from
that of a dynamically attached (over USB) DP panel.

Prior to your change, above case without the opp-table node would have
still returned -ENODEV.

But now this will just return -EPROBE_DEFER in both cases.


I thought the appropriate method of referencing the dsi panel was to
actually reference that using the of_graph, even though it's a child of
the dsi controller - that's at least how we've done it in e.g. [1].
I find this to be much nicer than to just blindly define that all
children of any sort of display controller must be a bridge or a panel.
