Well... Converting dw-hdmi to use all HDMI API is going to be
interesting anyway:

- iMX8, iMX6 attach with flags=0, so dw-hdmi creates connector (with all
  its fanciness).
- Ingenic and RCAR-DU use simple drm_bridge_connector, so they will just
  get all new features.
- Meson uses drm_bridge_connector + additional bits on top of it (like
  CEC, max_bpc, HDR).

Either we end up with a monstruous commit that reworks dw-hdmi _and_
drop extra bits from meson driver at the same time or we need some
well-thought plan. For example, first make some of the features of Meson
optional and dependent on their generic counterparts being registered by
drm_bridge_connector, then convert dw-hdmi _and_ use
drm_bridge_connector internally, finally drop extra meson features now
consumed by the core.
