There is no explicit description of disable_midlayer_calls.

Anyway I have few general comments I put them here to simplify discussion:
1. disable_midlayer_calls is used only by drm core on only 1st bridge in
the chain, in such case the flag should be placed rather in drm_encoder.
On the other hand to support this case it would be enough to use private
drm_bridge pointer instead of drm_encoder->bridge. I guess it should be
enough to solve your case.
2. Similar issue can appear not only between encoder->bridge pair, but
also in bridge->bridge pair (for longer display chains), it would be
good to cover such case, so maybe instead of disable_midlayer_calls
there should be flag disable_recursive_calls/disable_chain_calls in
drm_bridge, but again it can be solved also by not using
drm_bridge->next member.
3. There are 4 bools to control state machine of the bridge (it makes 16
possibilities, most of them is invalid), but it has only 3 states: off,
prepared, enabled. I think it would be clearer if we define
enum with these three states and use it.
4. WARN in atomics checks only 1st bridge in the chain, in most cases it
is enough but in case of longer chains it will not check next
bridges/panels - this is definitely only partial solution, maybe
skipping it wouldn't be bad idea, but it is just my suggestion.
