Patch adding HDMI path to tm2(e) including SiI8620 node and OF bindings
between hdmi and SiI8620 [1].
As the bridge framework in lower modes was used only to eliminate
unsupported modes, support for bridge in exynos_hdmi driver was not
critical, HDMI path worked well and I forgot about it.
But for UltraHD modes it is required as SiI8620 uses bridge framework to
gather info about applied video mode to program registers accordingly.
I will add requested description to this patch.
