[PATCH v2 0/8] drm/rockchip: migrate to common dw-mipi-dsi bridge and dual-dsi

The Rockchip DSI driver was separate till now, not using the common
bridge driver that was introduced a bit later. So this series migrates
over to use that common bridge driver and then also adds support for
dual-dsi to both the bridge and Rockchip glue code.

The bridge-migration itself is based on Nickeys earlier v8
work, but adapted to current kernels and with a new split between probe
and bind, so that we do not create and drop the dsi-host on each deferred
bind attempt.

changes in v2:
- rebase against newer drm code (dsi-bridge+rockchip changes)
- add SPDX header to new glue driver
- expect regular interface lanes from panel (like 4) not the double number
  Similar to tegra
- keep links to both master and slave


The dual-dsi setup follows the port description introduced by Archit [0],
in that the panel defines two input ports that get connected to both
dsi-controllers instances. So on Gru-Scarlett this looks for example
like:

&mipi_dsi {
	status = "okay";
	clock-master;

	ports {
		mipi_out: port at 1 {
			reg = <1>;

			mipi_out_panel: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&mipi_in_panel>;
			};
		};
	};

	mipi_panel: panel at 0 {
		/* 2 different panels are used, compatibles are in dts files */
		reg = <0>;
		backlight = <&backlight>;
		enable-gpios = <&gpio4 25 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		pinctrl-0 = <&display_rst_l>;

		ports {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			port at 0 {
				reg = <0>;

				mipi_in_panel: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&mipi_out_panel>;
				};
			};

			port at 1 {
				reg = <1>;

				mipi1_in_panel: endpoint at 1 {
					remote-endpoint = <&mipi1_out_panel>;
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

&mipi_dsi1 {
	status = "okay";

	ports {
		mipi1_out: port at 1 {
			reg = <1>;

			mipi1_out_panel: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&mipi1_in_panel>;
			};
		};
	};
};


The driver internal setup is pretty similar to what tegra does with
its ganged-mode [1][2]. But here a new helper function allows to traverse
the devicetree from one controller port through the panel to find
another dsi-controller using that same panel. This way we don't need
a special phandle-property to link the controllers together.

For the CRTC it is still one single display to handle, only with
an additional switch that enables the dual-dsi output.


For practical purposes it is possible to just pick half the series
(till patch 5) to get the migration to the bridge driver first,
so that we can get rid of the dw-dsi copy in the Rockchip driver.

But of course Acks / Reviews of the dsi-bridge changes would be needed.
