On next-20240117 the error happens in the aux-bridge file instead then.

aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/aux-bridge.o: in function `drm_aux_bridge_probe':
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/aux-bridge.c:115:(.text+0xe0): undefined reference to `devm_drm_of_get_bridge'

I'm attaching the defconfig with which I can reproduce this but it's
really just DRM_KMS_HELPER=n and PHY_QCOM_QMP_COMBO=y I believe.
