I took a short look at the driver today.
I noticed following code:
       if (!(flags & DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR))
                return -EINVAL;

So if the display driver do not supply the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR
then -EINVAL is returned.

But then the anx7625_bridge_attach() continues and creates a connector.
For a new bridge driver there should be no need for the backward
compatibility - so no need to create the connector.
Unless the display driver needs it - but then we should fix the display
driver and not add backward compatibility code in the bridge driver.

Which display driver do you expect this bridge driver to be used with?
