Hi Peter, Laurent,
   thanks for the patches,

This comments applies here and to [3/5] as well.

Are we sure we want the supported bridge input format defined in DT
bindings?

Again, I may be biased, but as I see this, each bridge driver should
list its supported formats with MEDIA_BUS_FMT_ fourcc codes and return
the currently 'active' one when requested by the preceding bridge.

I understand for this driver, being compatible with both a generic lvds
encoder and a specific chip, the supported input formats are
different, but I would have used the 'of_device_id.data' field for
this and leave this out from DT bindings.

This makes the translation routine here implemented not required if
I'm not wrong...

Thanks
