By saying that you didn't debug, I mean that you did not try to see why 
you had these errors - where the error codes were coming from, etc., to 
have a clear understanding of why it fails.

You had this:
[    4.474346] [drm:drm_bridge_attach [drm]] *ERROR* failed to attach 
bridge (null) to encoder DPI-34: -22

(null) means you're printing a NULL pointer. So I could see that 
hdmi->next_bridge was NULL. The place that sets it is dw_hdmi_parse_dt, 
which will return early with code 0, before next_bridge is set, if 
plat_data->output_port == 0, which was your case.

Since your hdmi-connector is wired at port #1, then .output_port should 
be 1 as well.

Cheers,
-Paul
