This patch-set aims to make connector creation optional and prepare the bridge drivers for use in a chained setup.
The objective is that all bridge drivers shall support a chained setup connector creation is moved to the display drivers. This is just one step on this path.
Third iteration of this patchset covers several drivers, and a few panel adjustments.
The general approach for the bridge drivers: - Introduce drm_panel_brigde - Introduce bridge operations - Make connector creation optional
v3: - Rebase on top of drm-misc-next - Address kbuild test robot feedback
v2: - Updated bus_flags for boe,hv070wsa-100 - Collected r-b, but did not apply patches yet - On the panel side the panel-simple driver gained a default connector type for all the dumb panels that do not include so in their description. With this change panels always provide a connector type, and we have the potential to drop most uses of devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(). - Added conversion of a few more bridge drivers
Patches can build but no run-time testing. So both test and review feedback appreciated!
