Based on description, I have doubts this is a separate bridge device.
Why this is not part of display driver/bindings?

We do not create usually devices for single registers, because they are
not a devices. Devices are a bit more complex - have some pin
inputs/outputs, not a register only. Of course there are exception, but
this one does not look like one.

Your driver tells different story:

syscon_node_to_regmap(dev->of_node->parent);

(which also points to fact this is not a separate device)
