Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] drm/rockchip: Convert the probe function to the
 generic drm_of_component_probe()

I've tweaked your patch to make the above (buggy) change a little clearer.

The original above passes port->parent to component_match_add().  This
means 'np' in the above compare_of() function is 'port->parent'.

This means the above comparison is effectively:

	dev->of_node == port->parent

The generic code instead does this:

                component_match_add(dev, &match, compare_of, port);

So what we get in the comparison function is 'port' rather than
'port->parent':

> +static int compare_port(struct device *dev, void *data)
>  {
> +	struct device_node *np = data;
> +	return dev->parent->of_node == np;
> +}

which means the comparison is:

	dev->parent->of_node == port

which is a different comparison from the above.

You instead want this to be:

	return dev->of_node == np->parent;

Heiko, please test the above change to compare_port() - I think you'll
find that will fix your issue.

Thanks.
