It's not about missing things. It's about a way it is written.
Consider something like:
The commit aaaaaaa ("drm/bridge: foo bar") has dropped all the users of
the struct bridge_init from the exynos_dp_core, while retainng unused
structure definition. Later on the driver was reworked and the
definition migrated to the analogix_dp driver. Remove unused struct
bridge_init definition.

The mentioned commit is a correct one. Historically exynos_dp_core had
been creating the ptn3460 bridge manually. Later on this was fixed in
the ptn3640 driver and the code was dropped from exynos_dp_core.
