Series looks good. You can add my a-b on the full series.
Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I can apply after Douglas have had a look at the patches he did not r-b
yet.

Any chance we can convince you to prepare this bridge driver for use in
a chained bridge setup where the connector is created by the display
driver and uses drm_bridge_funcs?

First step wuld be to introduce the use of a panel_bridge.
Then add get_edid to drm_bridge_funcs and maybe more helpers.

Then natural final step would be to move connector creation to the
display driver - see how other uses drm_bridge_connector_init() to do so
- it is relatively simple.

Should be doable - and reach out if you need some help.
