The assignment of the of_node to the aux bridge needs to mark the of_node as reused as well, otherwise resource providers like pinctrl will report a gpio as already requested by a different device when both pinconf and gpios property are present. Fix that by using the device_set_of_node_from_dev() helper instead.

Thanks, Applied to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/misc/kernel.git (drm-misc-fixes)
It's quite impolite to force push patches that still under reviewing, this prevent us to know what exactly its solves.
It's quite explicit.
This also prevent us from finding a better solution.
Better solution of ? This needed to be fixed and backported to stable,
We were thinking about
1) if possible to add a proper DT binding for those drives.
Or alternatively, as Laurent pointed out that
2) Invent some extra techniques to move the idr allocation procedure back to the AUX bus core. Make the core maintained device ID happens can help to reduce some boilerplate.
And those really deserve yet an another deeper thinking? no?
if there's desire to redesign the driver, then it should be discussed in a separate thread.
No, please don't misunderstanding. We are admire your work and we both admit that this patch is a valid fix.
But I think Johan do need more times to understand what exactly the real problem is. We do need times to investigate new method. This bug can be a good chance to verify/test new ideas, at the least, allow us to talk and to discussion.
