Because the existence of bridge->encoder has already been checked before the simple_bridge_attach() function get called, And drm_bridge_attach() will quit with a negative error code returned if it fails for some reasons. Hence, it is guaranteed that the .encoder member of the drm_bridge instance is not NULL when the tfp410_attach() function get called.
Remove the redundant checking codes "if (!bridge->encoder) { ... }".
