This is what I was explaining earlier today. If the bridge driver is
just an i2c driver, it won't get a pointer to drm_device, and can't
register itself as a drm_bridge or drm_connector. To solve this, you
need the ptn3460_init callback.

If it's an i2c driver with the ptn3460_init callback, where it parses
the dt in probe, then you have a race between the ptn probe and the
ptn init/drm hooks. ie: it's possible drm will initialize and call
disable/post_disable/pre_enable/enable before things have been probed.
To solve this, you need to use some global state and/or locking.

So, to summarize. We can have this of_find_compatible with a init
callback, or we can have an i2c driver + global state/locking + init
callback. I chose the former, since it seemed easier.

If you have a better way to achieve this, I'm definitely interested,
but I saw this as the lesser of two evils.
