Hi Sasha,


this breaks the x86_64 build for me.

AFAICT this patch cannot work without commit 
d8dfccde2709de4327c3d62b50e5dc012f08836f "drm/bridge: Drop conditionals 
around of_node pointers", but that commit is only present in Linux >= 6.7.

This issue affects the 6.6, 6.1 and 5.15 branches.

Pascal
