I don't personally have objections to this, but (to my understanding)
"the future" is that everyone should use panel_bridge. If we made the
move to panel_bridge today then we wouldn't need to do this. In
general I think panel_bridge would end up letting us delete a bunch of
code...

See commit 4e5763f03e10 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Wrap panel with
panel-bridge") for when this was done by ti-sn65dsi86.

Then again, I spent a small amount of time looking into this and it's
definitely non-trivial. Still likely worthwhile, but not worth
blocking a tiny fix like this. It also should be fairly obvious that
we should delete this when we switch to panel_bridge.

Thus:

I'll assume that we'll just snooze this commit until drm-misc-next
merges into a tree that msm-next is based on, which will probably be
the next -rc1. If desired and Acked I could land this in
drm-misc-next, but it's probably not worth it?
