The bridge/panel drivers generally call drm_bridge_add/drm_panel_add and 
mipi_dsi_attach() during probe.

If the driver calls drm_bridge_add() before mipi_dsi_attach() in probe,
then 'of_drm_find_bridge()' should succeed in the callback. This, 
however, is prone to all sorts of race conditions and hence not the
best solution.

In the case of panels, a dsi host can always create a dummy connector,
and search for a panel (of_drm_find_panel) in its 'detect' helper.
Unfortunately, we don't have a free connector in the case of bridges.
The connector are, in most cases, created by the bridge driver itself,
and the dsi host driver has no say over the connector ops.

I don't have a better solution yet, hence I said it could be left for
later :)
