While reviewing this I kept thinking whether this is really the right
architectural design. This driver is a MIPI DSI host, a connector and
a bridge, all in one. But it seems to me like it should really be an
encoder/connector and a MIPI DSI host. Why the need for a bridge? The
bridge abstraction targets blocks outside of the SoC, but it is my
understanding that these DesignWare IP blocks are designed into SoCs.
