Hi,
This series used to be part of the DSI probe order series, but got removed since it wasn't useful there anymore.
However, I still believe there is value in moving towards merging bridges and panels by only making encoder (or upstream bridges) manipulate bridges.
The first patch creates a new helper that does just this by looking for a bridge and a panel, and if a panel is found create a panel_bridge to return that bridge instead.
The next two patches convert the vc4 encoders to use it.
If it's accepted, I plan on converting all the relevant users over time.
Let me know what you think, Maxime
