I was referring to what's done in other drm drivers, but i agree
of_get_child_by_name is a better way to avoid adding another entry in host
node. Thanks!

The problem of using bridge is that bridge has been mapped to DSI host,
like HDMI and eDP drivers, to set_mode/enable/disable to the host, as the
encoder is mapped to INTF in MDP.
Yes, we can think it later.
