A colleague suggested a property in the endpoint as well, but I shied
away because of the extra hassle. Seems there's won't be a way around it ^^'..
How do you intend to propagate this different wiring setting?
How about having drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge adjust the
(*panel)->connector->display_info.bus_formats array to account for the
different wiring? That way there shouldn't be any need to adjust drivers.

Thanks for the interesting read.
