I think the question is how to go from zero or one bridge/hwblock/widget/whatever to zero or more..

an alternate set of helpers is one option. But it didn't turn out to be too intrusive to the existing helpers to add bridge in the first place, so I'm not sure it will be necessary.

I guess we could allow bridges to chain up and have multiple child-bridges or something like that. Plus a helper which finds a suitable routing through this network (it should be a tree after all, so no ambiguity) given a drm_connector/drm_encoder pair. Or maybe I misunderstand what you mean by going from 1 bridge to multiple bridges ... -Daniel
