I get more clear now. In patch 7/7,

ret = drm_bridge_attach(&dsi->encoder, &dsi->bridge, NULL,
                                        DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR);

this would call into mtk_dsi_bridge_attach() first, and then call into
panel_bridge_attach() next. So panel_bridge_attach() would receive
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR and it return immediately so it does
not call drm_panel_attach(). So where do you call drm_panel_attach()?
