Commit 05193dc38197 ("drm/bridge: Make the bridge chain a double-linked
list") patched the bridge chain logic to use a double-linked list instead
of a single-linked list. This change induced changes to the VC4 driver
which was manually resetting the encoder->bridge element to NULL to
control the enable/disable sequence of the bridge chain. During this
conversion, 2 bugs were introduced:
1/ list_splice() was used to move chain elements to our own internal
chain, but list_splice() does not reset the source list to an empty
state, leading to unexpected bridge hook calls when
drm_bridge_chain_xxx() helpers were called by the core. Replacing
those list_splice() calls by list_splice_init() ones fixes this
problem.
2/ drm_bridge_chain_xxx() helpers operate on the
bridge->encoder->bridge_chain list, which is now empty. When the
helper uses list_for_each_entry_reverse() we end up with no operation
done which is not what we want. But that's even worse when the helper
uses list_for_each_entry_from(), because in that case we end up in
an infinite loop searching for the list head element which is no
longer encoder->bridge_chain but vc4_dsi->bridge_chain. To address
that problem we stop using the bridge chain helpers and call the
hooks directly.

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 Restructured Text 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.
