Changes in v2:
- Update Exynos DP driver synchronously.
- Move the panel/bridge parsing to the Analogix side.

Changes in v3:
- Rebase for the existing devm_drm_bridge_alloc() applying commit.
- Fix the typographical error of panel/bridge check in exynos_dp_bind().
- Squash all commits related to skip_connector deletion in both Exynos and
  Analogix code into one.
- Apply panel_bridge helper to make the codes more concise.
- Fix the handing of bridge in analogix_dp_bridge_get_modes().
- Remove unnecessary parameter struct drm_connector* for callback
  &analogix_dp_plat_data.attach().
- In order to decouple the connector driver and the bridge driver, move
  the bridge connector initilization to the Rockchip and Exynos sides.

Changes in v4:
- Rebase for the applied &drm_bridge_funcs.detect() modification commit.
- Rename analogix_dp_find_panel_or_bridge() to analogix_dp_finish_probe().
- Drop the drmm_encoder_init() modification commit.
- Rename the &analogix_dp_plat_data.bridge to
  &analogix_dp_plat_data.next_bridge.

Changes in v5:
- Add legacy bridge to parse the display-timings node under the dp node
  for Exynos side.
- Move color format check to &drm_connector_helper_funcs.atomic_check()
  in order to get rid of &analogix_dp_plat_data.get_modes().
- Remove unused callback &analogix_dp_plat_data.get_modes().
- Distinguish the &drm_bridge->ops of Analogix bridge based on whether
  the downstream device is a panel, a bridge or neither.
- Select DRM_DISPLAY_DP_AUX_BUS for DRM_ANALOGIX_DP, and remove it for
  ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP.
- Apply rockchip_dp_attach() to support the next bridge attachment for
  the Rockchip side.
- Move next_bridge attachment from Analogix side to Rockchip/Exynos sides.

Changes in v6:
- Move legacy bridge driver out of imx directory for multi-platform use.
- Apply DRM legacy bridge to parse display timings intead of implementing
  the same codes only for Exynos DP.
- Ensure last bridge determines EDID/modes detection capabilities in DRM
  bridge_connector driver.
- Remove unnecessary drm_bridge_get_modes() in
  analogix_dp_bridge_get_modes().
- Simplify analogix_dp_bridge_edid_read().
- If the next is a bridge, set DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DETECT and return
  connector_status_connected in analogix_dp_bridge_detect().
- Set flag DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR for bridge attachment while
  binding. Meanwhile, make DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR unsuppported
  in analogix_dp_bridge_attach().
- Move the next bridge attachment to the Analogix side rather than
  scattered on Rockchip and Exynos sides.
- Remove the unnecessary analogix_dp_bridge_get_modes().
- Squash [PATCH v5 15/17] into [PATCH v5 17/17].
- Fix the &drm_bridge->ops to DRM_BRIDGE_OP_EDID | DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DETECT.

Changes in v7:
- As Luca suggested, simplify the code and related comment for bridge_connector
  modifications. Additionally, move the commit related to bridge_connector to
  the top of this patch series.
- Rename legacy-bridge driver to of-display-mode-bridge driver.
- Remove unnecessary API drm_bridge_is_legacy() and apply a temporary flag
  &exynos_dp_device.has_of_bridge instead, which will be removed finally.
- Remove exynos_dp_legacy_bridge_init() and inline API
  devm_drm_of_display_mode_bridge().

Changes in v8:
- Adapt the related modifications to the newest bridge_connector driver.

Changes in v9:
- Fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DRM_OF_DISPLAY_MODE_BRIDGE.
- Add Tested-by tag from Heiko.
