devm_drm_bridge_alloc() is the new API to be used for allocating (and partially initializing) a private driver struct embedding a struct drm_bridge. For many drivers having a simple code flow in the probe function, this commit does a mass conversion automatically with the following semantic patch. The changes have been reviewed manually for correctness as well as to find any false positives. The patch has been applied with the explicit exclusion of bridge/panel.c, handled by a separate patch. After applying the semantic patch, manually fixed these issues: - 4 drivers need ERR_CAST() instead of PTR_ERR() as the function calling devm_drm_bridge_alloc() returns a pointer - re-added empty lines and comments that the script had removed but that should stay @@ type T; identifier C; identifier BR; expression DEV; expression FUNCS; @@ -T *C; +T *C; ...

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 reStructuredText 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.
