i.MX53/6qdl/6sx/8mp/8qm/8qxp SoCs embed LDB.
Bridge drivers for them should be able to use the 'imx-ldb-helper'
added by patch 10/14, so they do share those logics.

i.MX53/6qdl LDB encoder driver is at drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-ldb.c.
It's essentially a drm encoder driver.  Efforts are needed to convert
it to be a pure drm bridge driver, just like the patch 12/14 and 13/14
for i.MX8qm/qxp LDB which live in drivers/gpu/drm/bridge. 'imx-drm' is
also needed to create drm encoders and connectors. So, a fair amount of
work. With that done, the
binding Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/imx/ldb.txt for
i.MX53/6dql LDBs can be dropped and we can probably cover them by this
binding, though I see quite a few new/inconsitent propeties.

i.MX6sx and i.MX8mp LDBs have no drivers yet. They can be potentially
covered by this binding.
