I've distilled it down as much as possible. Unfortunately the
encoder/crtc were fused pretty tightly and the effects of that are
far-reaching.

Well, that was blunt. Unfortunately, I don't know how else to do this
other than this broken, unreasonable and insane way.

This has already been discussed at length in a few other places.
Without some help from the drm layer, I don't see any other way to do
this than to enumerate the possible bridges in each drm driver.

I based the current set off the "Add some missing bits for
exynos5250-snow" series I sent up a little while ago. This set was
sent to the relevant dt people, acked by Olof, and there are no
outstanding review comments. Since it's required for me to test on
Real Hardware, I assumed this was an appropriate base.

If you think this is _broken_, unreasonable, and insane, I'd love to
hear an alternative.
