In panel_bridge_attach(), the check on the existence of bridge->encoder has already been done in the implementation of drm_bridge_attach(). And it is done before the bridge->funcs->attach hook is called. Hence, it is guaranteed that the .encoder member of the struct drm_bridge is not NULL when the panel_bridge_attach() is called. There is no need to check the existence of bridge->encoder another time at the implementation layer, therefore remove the redundant checking codes "if (!bridge->encoder) { ... }".
