Don't populate the array frs_limits on the stack but instead make it static. Makes the object code smaller by 123 bytes

It's curious that the data size didn't change.
Perhaps you should make sure you do not compile with allyesconfig when you show these change.
For instance: x86-64 defconfig with this bridge enabled:
$ size drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/tc358768.o text data bss dec hex filename 9423 300 0 9723 25fb drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/tc358768.o
