Subject: [PATCH] drm/imx: imx-ldb: Accept drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge failure

Not having an endpoint bound in DT should not cause a failure here,
there are fallbacks. So let's explicitly accept a missing endpoint.

This behavior change was introduced by refactoring in drm_of parsing
code and it should not require dts changes.

In particular this fixes imx6qdl-sabreauto boards.

Fixes: ebc944613567 ("drm: convert drivers to use drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge")
Signed-off-by: Leonard Crestez <leonard.crestez@....com>

---

This relies on drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge returning -ENODEV
specifically if no remote is found for the endpoint. This behavior can
be seen by looking at the code but is not otherwise obviously
guaranteed.

Perhaps this should be explicitly mentioned in that function's
documentation?
