While parsing the DT, the anx7625 driver checks for the presence of a
panel bridge on endpoint 1. If it is missing, pdata->panel_bridge stores
the error pointer and the function returns successfully without first
cleaning that variable. This is an issue since other functions later
check for the presence of a panel bridge by testing the trueness of that
variable.

In order to ensure proper behavior, zero out pdata->panel_bridge before
returning when no panel bridge is found.

I would've preferred s/zero out/cleanup/g but it's also fine as you wrote it.
Besides, good catch!
