Hello Damon,

Initialize bridge_connector for both Rockchip and Exynos encoder sides.
Then, make DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR mandatory for Analogix bridge
side, as the private &drm_connector is no longer created.

The previous &drm_connector_funcs and &drm_connector_helper_funcs APIs
are replaced by the corresponding &drm_bridge_funcs APIs:

analogix_dp_atomic_check() -> analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_check()
analogix_dp_detect() -> analogix_dp_bridge_detect()
analogix_dp_get_modes() -> analogix_dp_bridge_get_modes()
analogix_dp_bridge_edid_read()

Additionally, the compatibilities of Analogix DP bridge based on whether
the next bridge is a 'panel'. If it is, OP_MODES and OP_DETECT are
supported; If not (the next bridge is a 'monitor' or a bridge chip),
OP_EDID and OP_DETECT are supported.

The devm_drm_bridge_add() is placed in analogix_dp_bind() instead of
analogix_dp_probe(), because the type of next bridge (the panel, monitor
or bridge chip) can only be determined after the probe process has fully
completed.

Should this be 'flags | DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR' to be future-proof?


Aha, the exynos_dp_bridge_attach() and even
&analogix_dp_plat_data.attach() have been removed in [PATCH v10 16/18]
for consistency and simplification. Since the only bridge flag supported
right now is DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, let’s leave this as is for
now. ;-)

As you are going to send v11, I'd do that change. It is the right thing do
to, it's cheap, and in case patches up to 11/18 but not (yet) up to 16/18
we avoid ending up with unoptimal code until patch 16/18 is applied.


Yes, I will fix this in v11.

Best regards,
Damon
