Please note there are also bridge drivers in individual drivers
directories. For instance I'll convert rcar-du/rcar-lvds.

No, those drivers never had connector support in the first place, so as
far as I can tell they're good. I haven't checked if some of them need
to move to the DRM bridge panel helper, but if they don't create a
connector in the first place, they should already be using it.
