Looks like it should be pretty trivial to avoid the recursion.

Am I correct in interpreting this that bridges have some kind of
a hand rolled linked list implementation? Reusing the standard
linked lists would allow you to use list_for_each() etc.

Yeah it's a hand-rolled list, but current hw also has a bridge nesting
depth of 2, so it really doesn't matter. I guess once we have real long
chains of bridges we can fix this (and just using list_head sounds like a
great idea).

Even if not really needed right now, it's a pretty easy cleanup, if Jose
has time to handle it in v3 of this series let's not postpone it ;-)

jfyi, some of the bridge functions call the ops from the last bridge in the
chain to first, so we'd need to use list_for_each_entry_prev() (or something
like that) for them.

And now that I think about it, for some of the operations (especially
enable/disable) I believe that the bridge should be able to decide whether to
call the next/previous bridge first or to configure its hardware first. I can
image bridges that need the previous bridge in the chain to provide a valid
clock before they get started, as well as bridges that need to be started with
the incoming video signal stopped.

I guess converting into list would be a good start to achieve this. We'd 
probably
need to extend/redo the drm_bridge_attach() API to tweak the order in the which
the ops are called.

Thanks,
Archit
