Hey Maxime!
  I chased down the issue. The dsi probe code was still calling
drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() in order to succeed.

I've moved the logic that looks for the bridge into the bridge_init
and with that it seems to work.

Feel free (assuming it looks ok) to fold this change into your kirin patch:
