I agree that this will be the correct approach. I wonder though if could be
acceptable to land the changes in this series as a minimal fix for the DVI
mode issue, and then do further refactoring as a follow-up.

Note that what I'm doing in this version is aligned to what the sii902x
bridge driver also does:

static void sii902x_bridge_atomic_enable(struct drm_bridge *bridge,
					 struct drm_atomic_commit *state)
{
...
	u8 output_mode = SII902X_SYS_CTRL_OUTPUT_DVI;

	connector = drm_atomic_get_new_connector_for_encoder(state, bridge->encoder);
	if (connector && connector->display_info.is_hdmi)
		output_mode = SII902X_SYS_CTRL_OUTPUT_HDMI;
...
	regmap_update_bits(sii902x->regmap, SII902X_SYS_CTRL_DATA,
			   SII902X_SYS_CTRL_OUTPUT_MODE, output_mode);
...
}

So that driver would also need the cleanup to get rid of the legacy .mode_set.
