As I said yesterday, exynos_dsi driver uses dsi host attach/detach 
callbacks to control appearance/disappearance of downstream device. It 
allows to:

1. Safely bind/unbind different device drivers at any time and at any 
order, without killing exynos_drm and/or crashing system.

2. Avoid issues with late drm init - on some platforms exynos_drm device 
appeared too late, due to deferred probe, and resulted in black screen 
in userspace.


Now if we want to convert exynos_dsi to drm_bridge I see following options:

A. Forgot about callbacks and make the exynos_drm to defer probing until 
exynos_dsi bridge is available, probably it will cause later exynos_drm 
appearance, thus probably black screen on some targets. So for sure it 
will be suboptimal. Making it bridge unbind safe would be another 
problem, but most developers do not care about it so why should we? :)

B. Try to mimic current behaviour - exynos_dsi register bridge ASAP, 
even if downstream devices are not yet attached, on attach/detach notify 
drm about it via connector status change, for this dsi_host registration 
should be performed from drm_bridge attach, I guess.


Option A is more standard, but is unsafe and causes other issues.

Option B keeps current behaviour.
