yes, Hisilicon's hi6220 SoC use a Designware DSI Controller IP similar
to rockchip.
Maybe the version number is different.
I notice this recently when I am doing the upstream of hi6220's DRM driver.

And I have a look at Ying liu's original patches. It seems that it is
implemented in bridge.
His patches were sent in the early of last year, I can't get all the
background easily.
I wonder why his patches was not accecpted? What's the problem? And
why Thierry suggested get rid of bridge?

Thanks,
