Ah I see. Thanks for explanation. It seems relatively new changes and more
scalable. The above case is less likely with FPGA pipeline. But right, it can
still happen in certain cases, ex with 96 boards that have DSI interface only,
and that will help. So I believe encoder / connector drivers (there are more
in Xilinx tree) need to be converted to bridges, with a new top level driver
handling the bridges.
Thanks,
