This patch (which is actually two patches locally) allows the component
helper to know what's going on inside the bridge code wrt bridge
availability, and takes the appropriate action at the correct time.
No need for device links or similar, or incompatibilities between
bridges and components. The only requirement is that bridges set the
"device" member of struct drm_bridge to opt-in to this.
Tested with Armada converted to support bridges, TDA998x as a
componentised bridge, and dumb-vga-dac as a non-componentised bridge:
root at cubox:~# less /sys/kernel/debug/device_component/display-subsystem
master name status
-------------------------------------------------------------
display-subsystem bound
device name status
-------------------------------------------------------------
port registered
port registered
hdmi-encoder registered
vga-bridge registered
root at cubox:~# dmesg |grep bound
[ 1.921798] armada-drm display-subsystem: bound f1820000.lcd-controller (ops
armada_lcd_ops)
[ 1.931014] armada-drm display-subsystem: bound f1810000.lcd-controller (ops
armada_lcd_ops)
[ 2.069231] armada-drm display-subsystem: bound 1-0070 (ops tda998x_ops)
[ 2.076059] armada-drm display-subsystem: bound vga-bridge (ops dummy_ops)
Without this, the same DT fails because "vga-bridge" is never added
to the component helpers.
