Subject: [REGRESSION] drm/panel/panel-simple v6.17 WARNING regression
Hello everyone,
Commit 94d50c1a2ca3 ("drm/bridge: get/put the bridge reference in drm_bridge_attach/detach()")
introduced a regression with the below warning dure probe with panel
dpi described in the device tree.

Note that this commit was added to branch 'drm-next-2025-07-30',
which did not contain an already mainlined fix for another regression [1].
Without that fix [2], this new regression is masked.
Reverting 94d50c1a2ca3 on top of
commit 260f6f4fda93 ("Merge tag 'drm-next-2025-07-30' of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/kernel")
fixes the issue. At that point, [1] was fixed in mainline, and the new
regression reported here was merged in. v6.17-rc1 to v6.17-rc7 are in
this state.
However, later on, another regression seems to be introduced by
commit 8fa5909400f3 ("drm/bridge: get the bridge returned by drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge()")
so reverting 94d50c1a2ca3 on top of drm-misc-next does not solve
everything. This was tested by rebasing drm-misc-next onto (260f6f4fda93
plus the revert of 94d50c1a2ca3) and then bisecting.
So in v6.18-rc1, both regressions are present.
There, I get the following additional warnings:
