[PATCH 0/3] drm/komeda: Support for drm_bridge endpoints

[Mihail Atanassov]

Greetings,

This series attempts to add support for endpoints (in the DT sense)
whose drivers only have a drm_bridge interface, unlike the tda998x,
which uses the component framework and provides all of drm_encoder,
drm_bridge, drm_connector.

1 & 2 should be fairly non-contentious, and I believe are valuable
enough on their own as they remove some pointer chasing and a few
allocations at the top level of komeda.

3 is the meat of this series, where I add the drm_bridge endpoint code.
This was tested with ti_tfp410 on the back end of a D71. I've tagged it
with an RFC since I drew inspiration from tilcdc, which does similar
shenanigans to detect tda998x vs non-tda998x, and is hence a precedent
for including similar handling, but I wasn't sure if there's a more well
established pattern.

Note that I opted not to remove the previous way of doing things for
tda998x, even though it could work with the drm_bridge handling
directly, since AFAIUI, device links haven't been implemented for
drm_bridge (see [1] for an attempt at doing that that never landed, and
I'm not aware of any refcounting having been added since), and therefore
getting a drm_bridge driver rmmod'ed while in use would be Bad(tm).
