Looking closer I see that tc358775 doesn't store away the incoming
value, it derives a bpc from what comes in. I guess it isn't really a
good example for this problem.

I tried to hack around this and convert this driver to use bridge funcs
with Vinod's msm patch underneath but now the encoder is invalid. I
wonder if something is wrong with how the msm display driver drives the
bridge and connector? That TODO in ti_sn_bridge_attach() makes me think
something else needs fixing. I'll send another patch series tomorrow on
top of this one that kicks off the conversion to bridge connector so we
can discuss there.
