By "minimal" in v4 comment, I meant not to use __free(device_node)
in imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() and
imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_set_pixel_link_sel() - please keep using
__free(device_node) in imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_find_next_bridge().

No, please fix imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() to make it
return int.

No, you need to change it.
