I see but if I set crtc_state->connectors_changed = true; as it is done in
reset_pipe(), in my understanding, all outputs will be reset.
I understood during v1 review that I need to reset only one output path, the
path where the bridge is present. In other words, the path from the encoder
attached to the bridge to the related connector and not all connectors
related to all encoders attached to the crtc.
Do you confirm that setting crtc_state->connectors_changed = true is the
correct way to do?
