Why is it removed in this patch? Can't you do this incrementally rather
than remove the driver in this patch and add it again later? If you do
it this way then we'll always have this one commit where devices that
have a ptn3460 don't work, so it becomes impossible to bisect across
this commit.

The "_for_lookup" and "_from_lookup" suffixes aren't useful in my
opinion.

And this could simply be "drm_bridge_attach()" since we'll only ever
want to attach it to encoders.

Should this function perhaps call the bridge's ->post_encoder_init()?
And it should probably call drm_bridge_init() too, since the DRM device
is now available.

Maybe since you're introducing a new drm_bridge.c file above already it
would make sense to move out existing drm_bridge related code in a
preparatory patch?
Maybe Sean or Rob can comment on whether there was a specific reason to
include it in drm_crtc.c in the first place.

This sets ->drm_dev, but it was already set in drm_bridge_attach(), so I
think that's one more argument to call this function when attaching.

Nit: I don't think you'll need two variables here, since once you've
obtained the real panel or bridge objects you no longer need the OF
nodes.

Maybe rename this to "attach" to make it more obvious when exactly it's
called?

Can you explain why this new field is needed? It seems like a completely
unrelated change.
