Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] drm/exynos/dsi: Remove error handling for bridge_node
 DT parsing

Hello Hoegeun,

my last question (does this regress the case "node required, but
absent") still stands.

I don't think a construction like that exists. Either it's required, or
it's optional. "required optionally" makes no sense to me (but I'm not a
native speaker).
