Nice.

A few comments below (no need to address them, those are just minor
things that can be fixed later on, or things I'm not comfortable
with but cannot be addressed easily).

Actually I added this check because someone suggested it :-). I don't
think it's a real problem, and that should definitely be checked at the
CRTC level, not here.

atmel_hlcdc_panel_encoder_funcs should probably be renamed
atmel_hlcdc_dpi_encoder_funcs, but it's just a detail.

It would even be simpler if panels were directly registering
themselves to the bridge infrastructure so that they can be found with
drm_of_find_bridge() and we don't have to explicitly create this
bride->panel wrapper, but I remember that Thierry was not a big fan of
this idea.

Also, I keep thinking that we're abusing objects. A bridge is supposed
to convert a pixel stream in a given format/encoding into a different
format/encoding. Here, there's no conversion taking place in this
panel_bridge, it's just a way to expose the panel as a generic element
that can be easily connected to many display controller drivers.
To be perfectly clear, I really like this idea of providing a generic
wrapper, I'm just unsure exposing this wrapper as a bridge is such a
good idea, unless we clarify the meaning/goal of a 'drm_bridge' object.

The more I look at it, the more I think the drm_bridge is turning into a
generic element that is taking a stream of pixel in a specific format
and either consuming it of transforming it before forwarding it to the
next element in the chain.

Boris
