Thanks for pointing that. I didn't know about bridge->base.state->state.
I will use that if using the state is still relevant (see next comment).

I am a bit confused. I looked at the drm_encoder structure [1] and the crtc
field available in this structure should not be used by atomic drivers. They
should rely on &drm_connector_state.crtc.
In my case, I have the feeling that I should get the ctrc from the current
state (i.e. bridge->base.state->state) using the sequence provided in this
current patch:
Retrieve the connector with drm_atomic_get_old_connector_for_encoder()
Retrieve the connector state with drm_atomic_get_connector_state()
but you pointed out the bridge->encoder->crtc field.
Should I use this field or use the &drm_connector_state.crtc with the drm
connector state retrieved from bridge->base.state->state using the proposed
sequence?
