Hello Damon,

Initialize bridge_connector for both Rockchip and Exynos encoder sides.
Then, make DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR mandatory for Analogix bridge
side, as the private &drm_connector is no longer created.

The previous &drm_connector_funcs and &drm_connector_helper_funcs APIs
are replaced by the corresponding &drm_bridge_funcs APIs:

analogix_dp_atomic_check() -> analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_check()
analogix_dp_detect() -> analogix_dp_bridge_detect()
analogix_dp_get_modes() -> analogix_dp_bridge_get_modes()
analogix_dp_bridge_edid_read()

Additionally, the compatibilities of Analogix DP bridge based on whether
the next bridge is a 'panel'. If it is, OP_MODES and OP_DETECT are
supported; If not (the next bridge is a 'monitor' or a bridge chip),
OP_EDID and OP_DETECT are supported.

The devm_drm_bridge_add() is placed in analogix_dp_bind() instead of
analogix_dp_probe(), because the type of next bridge (the panel, monitor
or bridge chip) can only be determined after the probe process has fully
completed.

I noticed two issues, sorry I haven't catched them before...

drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge() takes a reference, you must call
drm_bridge_put(bridge) before returning. Given there are two return paths I
suggest:

- struct drm_bridge *bridge;

- bridge = drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(connector->encoder);
+ struct drm_bridge *bridge __free(drm_bridge_put) =
+ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(connector->encoder);

return drm_dp_stop_crc(&dp->aux);
}

Same here:

- struct drm_bridge *bridge;

- bridge = drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(connector->encoder);
+ struct drm_bridge *bridge __free(drm-bridge_put) =
+ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(connector->encoder);

With the above two changes you can add to v14:

Ah, your previous commit added this nice reference handling. Thanks for the kind review.

I'll fix it in v14.

Best regards,
