Hello,
This patch series converts the R-Car DU driver to use the DRM bridge connector helper drm_bridge_connector_init().
The bulk of the v1 series was converting the adv7511, simple-bridge and dw-hdmi drivers to make connector creation optional (through the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag), and have already been merged. v2 included the remaining patches and has bitrotten. v3 rebased the code and should be ready for merge.
Patch 1/4 adds support to the dw-hdmi driver to attach to a downstream bridge if one is specified in DT. As the DT port number corresponding to the video output differs between platforms that integrate the dw-hdmi (some of them even don't have a video output port, which should probably be fixed, but that's out of scope for this series), the port number has to be specified by the platform glue layer.
Patch 2/4 then addresses the rcar-lvds driver. Instead of implementing direct support for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, it simply removes code that shouldn't have been in the driver in the first place by switching to the panel bridge helper.
Patch 3/4 specifies the port number in the R-Car dw-hdmi glue layer, as required by 1/4.
Patch 4/4 finally makes use of the drm_bridge_connector_init() helper.
The series has been tested on the Renesas R-Car Salvator-XS and Draak boards with the VGA, HDMI and LVDS outputs.
