Please have a look at "[PATCH 00/60] drm/omap: Replace custom display
drivers with drm_bridge and drm_panel", available in a new version at

	git://linuxtv.org/pinchartl/media.git omapdrm/bridge/devel

(I will post v2 soon)

The patches show the direction the omapdrm driver is taking. The goal is
to decouple connectors from bridges, which I'm afraid will have an
impact on associating drm_connector with a CEC adapter. This should be
implemented through new drm_bridge operations, as bridges, when created,
will not create drm_connector anymore.

I've solved a similar problem related to associating DRM connectors with
an I2C adapter for DDC. Please see the drm_bridge_connector_init()
function and how the DDC adapter is handled. Something similar could be
done for CEC.

Could you please rebase that on the above patch series ?
