[Freedreno] [DPU PATCH v3 3/5] drm/msm/dp: add displayPort driver support

[chandanu at codeaurora.org]

Hello Rob,
We removed the bridge object for DisplayPort due to review comments in 
patch set 1.

Added more details below.

We had the below comments from Sean Paul to remove the bridge object in 
patch set 1 of this change.

I'm not convinced you need any of this. The only advantage a bridge gets 
you is
to be involved in modeset. However the only thing you do in modeset is 
save the
mode (which is only used in enable). So why not just use the mode from 
the
crtc's state when encoder->enable is called?

That allows you to delete all of the bridge stuff here.
