[PATCH v5 2/3] drm/bridge: Drop conditionals around of_node pointers

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi Biju,

Thank you for the patch.

In the commit message, s/pointers/pointer/ as you're only touching a
single one.

You can hardly blame commit c9e358dfc4a8 for forgetting drm_bridge, as
that commit dates back from 2011 and the drm_bridge of_node field was
added in 2015 :-)

I would simply copy the rationale from the commit message of
c9e358dfc4a8 and write something like

--------
Having conditional around the of_node pointer of the drm_bridge
structure turns out to make driver code use ugly #ifdef blocks. Drop the
conditionals to simplify drivers. While this slightly increases the size
of struct drm_bridge on non-OF system, the number of bridges used today
and foreseen tomorrow on those systems is very low, so this shouldn't be
an issue.
