Very good - I was in my mind starting a rant why we needed a fork of
this driver, but I see it gets deleted again.

I do acknowledge you need to preserve history and all -
but this patchset is not easy to review.

Could you follow-up with a review-able set of patches as a follow-up
for this?
I spotted some wrong bridge handling in one patch but I do not know if
this got changed in a later patch. And I lost the motivation to go
looking for it.

Patch that intropduce new bindings must following the submitting patches
guidelines for bindings. For once the subject is "dt-bindings: bla bla".
