Yes, we have drm_bridge_attach in bind and bridge_function.attach
calls in this patch and of_drm_find_bridge in sun6i_mipi_dsi_attach.
Not sure which API's I've missed.

I've mentioned "Converting to bridge driver" and thought it has
meaning of converting encoder related function to bridge functions as
well. Not think about specific description to describe on commit
message. Will update this.

Not exactly sure about what you mean, sorry. All these atomic bridge
functions are already documented if I'm not wrong and Laurent have
patches to switch the normal functions to atomic. Not sure what else
need to document here and need justification for it if the driver is
converting to bridge.

Please check what I mean here,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ti-sn65dsi83.c#n623

I've tested it anyway, if you have any relevant one please check as well.

Okay. I need to check this.
