Well, as Mihail wrote, it's definitely not perfect.

Today, if you rmmod tda998x with the DPU driver still loaded,
everything will be unbound gracefully.

If we swap to bridge, then rmmod'ing tda998x (or any other bridge
driver the DPU is using) with the DPU driver still loaded will result
in a crash.

So, there really are proper benefits to sticking with the component
code for tda998x, which is why I'd like to understand why you're so
against this patch?

Thanks,
