I've played a bit with the Exynos DRM code and finally I made it working 
on TM2(e). There are basically 3 different issues that need to be fixed 
to get it working with the $subject patchset:

1. Port numbers in exynos5433 dsi/dts are broken. For all pre-Exynos5433 
boards the panel was defined as a DSI node child (at 'reg 0'), what 
means it used port 0. Then, Exynos5433 introduced so called RGB-in at 
port 0 and panel at port 1 (as described in the dt bindings). However 
the committed Exynos5433 dtsi and TM2(e) dts still defined panel as a 
DSI child (with reg=0, so port 0) and Exynos MIC as of-graph at port 0. 
The Exynos DSI code however always searched for a panel as a DSI child 
node, so it worked fine, even though the panel and exynos mic used in 
fact the 'port 0'. IMHO this can be fixed by the following patch:

2. (devm_)drm_of_get_bridge() ignores panel's 'reg' property and it is 
unable to find a panel if there is a 'ports' child node (even if it 
describes completely different port than the one requested by the 
caller). I don't have time now to fix this, a simple and ugly workaround 
for that is to define the complete of-graph for the DSI child panel:

3. Lack of proper handling of the 'in-bridge' in the Exynos DSI after 
Your conversion. Initially I thought that this could be fixed with the 
following simple patch:

but it turned out that in such case the order of the bridge 'enable' 
calls is not correct for display pipeline operation. The one that 
actually works is (sorry for the hacky code):

I hope the above findings helps somehow in finishing this patchset. I'm 
not deep in the DRM bridge development, but it looks that there is 
something seriously broken in the design or Exynos MIC and DSI should 
not be modeled as bridges.

I will be on holidays till 10th Jan 2022.

Best regards
