We are about to replace the single-linked bridge list by a double-linked one based on list.h, leading to the suppression of the encoder->bridge field. But before we can do that we must provide a drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge() bridge helper and patch all drivers and core helpers to use it instead of directly accessing encoder->bridge. Note that we still have 2 drivers (VC4 and Exynos) manipulating the encoder->bridge field directly because they need to cut the bridge chain in order to control the enable/disable sequence. This is definitely not something we want to encourage, so let's keep those 2 oddities around until we find a better solution.

README
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.
