I think that's a step backwards. In fact I think the panel-bridge binder
driver shouldn't be needed at all. At least not for now. We have a very
limited number of bridge drivers, so it shouldn't hurt at this stage to
implement the connector instantiation within each driver. Once we have
more bridge drivers, and therefore a better understanding of what they
need, we can always add something like the panel-binder (though I think
it should be library code, similar to the drm_encoder_helper_add() API,
rather than this kind of self-contained object).
