The function name seems to hint that a panel is not a bridge, while panel can be drm bridge.
display connector can also be a bridge, display connector can also be within a bridge.
There also has HPD fake bridge.

so maybe drm_of_find_panel_or_connector_or_hpd_bridge()?


My function intend to use one word "bridge" stand for all at this moment.

No, you miss the point.

The point is that the caller *don't need* to identify them.
Just tears down (quit with -EPROBE_DEFER returned) is enough.
This is also what's other drivers do.

No,

  
As I have told you several time, the DT/fwnode graph speak everything.
Display bridge driver can query firmware(DT/ACPI) to know if the next bridge
is present, is it really meant to be used and how many bridges in the chains.

If there has complete OF/fwnode graph and the graph say that there has next
bridge in the chain. Then the driver has to return -EPROBE_DEFER if he can't
find the next.

And the most important thing is that it is the bridge drivers responsibility
or authority to take whatever actions when drm_bridge_find_next_bridge_by_fwnode()
can return NULL. Core helpers is meant to be lightweight only, there no need
to introduce this overhead.
  
Ok. I think I have been patient long enough.
You questions and/or reviews have been given polite replies, that's it.
