of_device_is_available() does check for a NULL pointer when it calls
__of_device_is_available() (after it takes devtree_lock raw spinlock
and then releases devtree_lock).  So, if remote is NULL, '!remote ||'
exits the if clause a bit earlier without calling
of_device_is_available() to take/release devtree_lock, which means a
little bit better performance.  But, people may say that the
performance gain is trivial. drm_of_component_probe() in drm_of.c also 
checks '!remote' before checking '!of_device_is_available(remote)'. Do
you still think that both drm_of_component_probe() and
lcdif_attach_bridge() should drop '!remote ||'?

crtc->state can be NULL when e.g. at driver load time, like kerneldoc
for drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset() mentions.  I may add a comment for
the 'base' member to note that it should be always the first member of
the lcdif_crtc_state structure.  Do you think that will be ok?
