Hi! It was noted by Russel King [1] that bridges (not using components) might disappear unexpectedly if the owner of the bridge was unbound. Jyri Sarha had previously noted the same thing with panels [2]. Jyri came up with using device links to resolve the panel issue, which was also my (independent) reaction to the note from Russel. This series builds up to the addition of that link in the last patch, but in my opinion the other 25 patches do have merit on their own. The last patch needs testing, while the others look trivial. Jyri, are you able to test? That said, I might have missed some subtlety. Oh and the reason I'm pushing this is of course so that the issue noted by Russel in [1] is addressed which in turn means that the tda998x bridge driver can be patched according to that series without objection (hopefully) and then used from the atmel-hlcdc driver (and other drivers that are not componentized). Changes since v1 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/26/1018 - rename .owner to .odev to not get mixed up with the module owner. - added patches for new recent drivers thc63lvd1024 and cdns-dsi - fix for problem in the rockchip_lvds driver reported by 0day - added a WARN in drm_bridge_add if there is no .odev owner device I did *not*: - add any ack from Daniel since he suggested "pdev", and I ended up with "odev" in the rename since I disliked "pdev" about as much as "owner". - add any port id. The current .of_node (that this series removes) does not identify the port, so that problem seems orthogonal to me.
