There has been no comments to these patches, so I guess there are no major objections. I can go forward with this, and I think a similar job should be done for drm_panel too. But I wonder if this should be done for 4.10 any more?
Best regards, Jyri

The function documentation is missing and so are the modifications to all affected drivers. I have added the modification patches for tilcdc and ti-tfp410 to serve as an example and I have put them into separate patches for readability.
For the matter of adding devres version of of_drm_get_bridge() and drm_bridge_alloc(), I think that is a good idea. With reference counting, each user can hold on to their reference to the bridge object as long as they need it. The bridge object exists as long as any of the users still holds on to it.
Cheers, Jyri
