Expanding a bit the commit log would be great. What is dithering, why
is this needed in the first place, what is it trying to fix, etc.

You shouldn't access the connector directly, but instead use the
current state associated to the encoder.

I guess that has more to do with the bit width than the actual media
bus.

I've created helper for both these two in my LVDS patch set, you might
want to rebase on top of it.

This can be moved to the first case in your switch, and just let it
fall through. You won't have to do a comparison twice then.
