[PATCH RFC v2 12/24] drm/bridge: shutdown and cleanup on bridge unplug

From: Luca Ceresoli

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 08:53:04 EST


With the upcoming support for DRM bridge hot(un)plugging, bridges can be
removed at any time. When this happens, shutdown the pipeline and detach
from the encoder chain the bridge being removed along with all the
following ones.
