This is dw-mipi-dsi-rockchip which uses the component path in
dw-mipi-dsi (and, in fact, is the only driver using that mode of
dw-mipi-dsi).

I'm not familiar enough with DRM to say whether it's easy to convert to
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR - should dw-mipi-dsi-rockchip be moving
to use dw-mipi-dsi as a bridge driver or should dw_mipi_dsi_bind() have
a drm_bridge_attach_flags argument?  But I'm happy to test patches if it
looks easy to convert to you :-)
