The MIPI-DSI infrastructure and setup we have so far is limited and
doesn't provide a good way to address some corner-cases.
Add a TODO entry to document what is needed.

+Improve MIPI-DSI infrastructure
+-------------------------------
+
+The MIPI-DSI infrastructure in KMS supports MIPI-DSI devices in part
+through a dedicated bus (`drm_mipi_dsi.c`) and in part through ad-hoc
+calls in drivers, especially to handle the power state of the bus.
+
+This is an oddity as far as the device model is concerned, but is also
+an issue when multiple devices are chained (like bridges) and have
+different requirements.
+
+It would be a good idea to move all the power state handling out of KMS
+and into the bus support itself.
+
+See `[RFC PATCH 03/10] drm/mipi-dsi: add API for manual control over the DSI link power state <https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20231016165355.1327217-4-dmitry.baryshkov@linaro.org/>`_

Improve HDMI Infrastructure
---------------------------
We have a bunch of helpers to handle HDMI and reduce the boilerplate in
drivers. Support so far includes HDMI 1.4 support, but we need to extend
