drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/lvds-encoder.c broken in mainline

[Lothar Waßmann]

Hi,

drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/lvds-encoder.c driver is currently
dysfunctional due to:

|
|    drm/bridge: Refactor out the panel wrapper from the lvds-encoder bridge.

Also, there is no in-kernel user of this driver, so that it obviously
doesn't get tested in any way. There is only one dts file (r8a7779-marzen.dts)
that instantiates this driver, but it has an incomplete OF graph. The missing
link for the OF graph is provided by either r8a77xx-aa104xd12-panel.dtsi or
r8a77xx-aa121td01-panel.dtsi, but those files are referenced nowhere in
the kernel source.

Should the driver be removed or moved to staging, until it is properly
fixed?
