In the adv7511_connector_init() function, the check on the existence of bridge->encoder is not necessary. As it has already been checked in the drm_bridge_attach() which happens prior to the adv7511_bridge_attach() get called. Also note that the adv7511_connector_init() is only called by adv7511_bridge_attach(). Hence, it is guaranteed that the .encoder member of the drm_bridge instance is not NULL when adv7511_connector_init() get called. Remove the redundant checking codes "if (!bridge->encoder) { ... }".
