Because the rockchip driver peeks into the bridge struct and all the
changes in this patch relate to making the new .odev member optional in
the transition phase, when the bridge can have either a new-style odev
or an old style of_node.

I guess this rockchip change could be patch 2, but it has to come first
after this patch and it makes no sense on its own. Hence, one patch.

This rockchip_lvds interaction is also present in patch 24/26
drm/bridge: remove the .of_node member

I can split them if you want, but I personally don't see the point.

s/should/could/ ???

Assuming that was what you meant and answering accordingly...

No, .odev cannot be NULL in that else branch. drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge
either found a panel or a bridge (or it failed). If it found a bridge
(which is the relevant branch for this question) that bridge would have
to have either an of_node (in the transition phase) or a valid .odev.
Otherwise the bridge could not have been found by
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge.

*time passes*

Ahh, yes, .odev is always NULL here so you probably did mean "should".
But after patches 2-23 when bridges start populating .odev *instead*
of .of_node, .odev will not remain NULL. But as I said above, while
.odev is NULL, .of_node will never be NULL and vice versa (or
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge could not have found the bridge) so there
is no risk of a NULL dereference.

Cheers,
Peter
