Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Early HPD interrupt can cause a NULL pointer dereference of `hdmi->bridge.dev` if it fires before `drm_bridge_attach` completes.

drm/bridge: inno-hdmi: Allow the register map to come from a parent
    
On some SoCs the HDMI controller does not own its register window. The
StarFive JH7110 documents one 64 KB block, u0_hdmitx, that holds both
the controller and the PHY, so the parent device maps it and owns the
regmap while the two children share it.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this code trigger a NULL pointer
dereference if the hotplug interrupt fires early?

Looking at the rest of inno_hdmi_probe(), the hardware interrupt is unmuted
in inno_hdmi_init_hw(), and then the handler is registered:

    inno_hdmi_init_hw(hdmi);
    ...
    ret = devm_request_threaded_irq(dev, irq, inno_hdmi_hardirq,
                                    inno_hdmi_irq, IRQF_SHARED,
                                    dev_name(dev), hdmi);

If a cable is already connected or plugged in at this exact moment, the
interrupt can fire immediately. The threaded handler inno_hdmi_irq() will
then execute:

    drm_helper_hpd_irq_event(hdmi->bridge.dev);

However, hdmi->bridge.dev appears to be NULL at this point, as it is only
populated later when the upstream display controller calls
drm_bridge_attach().

Is there something preventing this race condition, or should the IRQ handler
registration be deferred?
