Let's sort out the alignment.

			lvdstripe = LVDSTRIPE_ST_ON
				  | (lvds->companion && lvds->stripe_swap_data ?
				     LVDSTRIPE_ST_SWAP : 0);

I wonder if we should use devm_drm_panel_bridge_add() (or
drm_panel_bridge_add()) and use the bridge API only. It would require a
small change in the drm_panel_bridge to copy the timings pointer, but
apart from that I think it should be fine. If it creates too much churn
due to connector handling then we can skip it for now and I'll handle it
later (but I'd appreciate if you could copy the timings pointer in
drm_panel_bridge already).

I see what you're trying to do, but I'm not sure I like it much :-S

Peeking into the remove DT node like that creates a dependency between
this driver and the DT bindings of all possible remote nodes. For this
to work, you would need to ensure that the odd/even mapping to ports is
common to all dual-link devices, and thus document that globally in the
DT bindings. I'm not sure if there's a way around it as hardware
connections could indeed switch the two lanes, so we need to model that
somehow. It could be modelled with a swap property in DT, but that would
still require a standard mapping of odd-even pixels to ports, so maybe
the easiest option is to document globally that port 0 on the sink is
for even pixels, and port 1 for odd pixels, and remove the
DRM_LINK_DUAL_LVDS_ODD_EVEN flag completely. But what will then happen
if you panel has more than two ports (for audio for instance, or for
other types of video links) ? It may not be possible to always use port
0 and 1 for the LVDS even and odd pixels in DT bindings of a particular
panel or bridge.

A creative solution is needed here.
