In the adv7511_connector_init() function, the check on the existence of bridge->encoder is not necessary, as it has already been done in the drm_bridge_attach() function. And the check on the drm bridge core happens before check in the implementation. Hence, it is guaranteed that the .encoder member of the struct drm_bridge is not NULL when adv7511_bridge_attach() function is called. Remove the redundant checking codes "if (!bridge->encoder) { ... }".
