[RFC PATCH v2 0/5] Simplify and correct msm/dp bridge implementation

[Dmitry Baryshkov]

I noticed that commit 8a3b4c17f863 ("drm/msm/dp: employ bridge mechanism for display
enable and disable") conflicts with the panel-edp (panel bridge)
support. Both bridges will try to attach directly to the drm encoder
itself without forming a proper bridge chain.

Initially I started writing lengthy letter describing what is broken and
how it should be fixed. Then at some point I stopped and quickly coded
this RFC (which is compile-tested only).

Comments and tests (on both DP and eDP setups) are more than welcome.

Changes since RFC v1:
 - Expanded commit messages to reference possible setups
   Added details about possible bridges, usage, etc
 - Changed handling of errors for devm_drm_of_get_bridge(). Made the
   -ENODEV fatal for the eDP connectors only, all other errors should be
   fatal for both eDP and DP.

Dmitry Baryshkov (5):
  drm/msm/dp: fix panel bridge attachment
  drm/msm/dp: support attaching bridges to the DP encoder
  drm/msm/dp: support finding next bridge even for DP interfaces
  drm/msm/dp: replace dp_connector with drm_bridge_connector
  drm/msm/dp: remove extra wrappers and public functions
