Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

Should the bridge have two ports, one input port connected to a display engine 
and one output port connected to a VGA connector ?

The DRM core adds modes up to 1024x768 in 
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes(). I wonder if it really makes sense 
to override that in drivers, compared to increasing the maximum resolution in 
the core. What we can reasonable expect from a VGA monitor doesn't really 
depend on which display engine it is connected to.

Shouldn't that be connector_status_unknown if you have no information about 
the connection status ?

Would it make sense to add an optional GPIO-based connection detection to this 
driver ?

You're leaking the reference to the I2C adapter.

Also, shouldn't you use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() ? Otherwise you won't 
take a reference to the adapter module.
