Ah, good catch, thanks for the patch!

Looks correct, but can be simpler:
ret = devm_drm_bridge_add(dev, bridge);
if (ret)
return ERR_PTR(dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "failed to add
bridge\n"));
Also, when sending a new iteration, it is common to _not_ send the patch as
a reply to the previous iteration. It can generate huge threads for long
series. Also I'd not be surprised if it confused some tools, even though I
just did a quick test with b4 and it seems to do the expected thing (take
v2, not v1).
Best regards,
Luca
