This is the new API for allocating DRM bridges. These two drivers are tangled together by the ldb_add_bridge_helper(), so they are converted at once. They also have a similar design, each embedding an array of channels in their main struct, and each channel embeds a drm_bridge. This prevents dynamic, refcount-based deallocation of the bridges. To make the new, dynamic bridge allocation possible: * change the array of channels into an array of channel pointers * allocate each channel using devm_drm_bridge_alloc() * adapt ldb_add_bridge_helper() to not set the funcs pointer (now done by devm_drm_bridge_alloc()) * adapt the code wherever using the channels Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com> Acked-by: Liu Ying <victor.liu@nxp.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20250424-drm-bridge-convert-to-alloc-api-v2-31-8f91a404d86b@bootlin.com Signed-off-by: Louis Chauvet <louis.chauvet@bootlin.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
