Ok.

This can be done later.

Right. As you said, we can eliminate driver_private and use container_of.

Well, I am not quite aware of i2c functions. I will have a look into it though.

This can be done later.

Agreed.

Ok. I will add these as incremental changes.

Ok.

Ok, will use this.

I was just wondering if it is ok to have a node in two independent lists?
bridge_lookup_table and the other mode_config.bridge_list?

As explained for the previous patch, how to choose the polled flag?

So, do not initialize connector if there is no panel? and, get_modes
via panel instead of doing it by edid-emulation?
