Hi Andrzej,
Thanks for your contributions.

Can you give me more details about why you think better to use panel
framework than using drm_bridge? "Simpler" and "more natural" are
ambiguous to me.
Using same drm_panel framework for LDVS bridge and real panel drivers
isn't reasonable to me as now because drm_panel framework would be for
real panel device even if the use of drm_panel framework looks like
suitable to LVDS bridge driver. I thought Sean's way, ptn3460 driver
using drm_bride stuff, is good enough, and that would be why
drm_bridge exists and why drm_encoder has drm_bridge.
And I'm finding more generic way, how to handle LVDS bridge using
super node so that LVDS bridge driver isn't embedded to connector
drivers such as eDP and MIPI-DSI, and dt binding of LVDS bridge can be
done at top level of Exynos drm. Once the binding is done, encoder of
display bus driver will have drm_bridge object of LVDS bridge driver
so that display bus driver can handle LVDS bridge driver.
Will review your patch series soon.
Thanks,
