Hm, but in my case, I don't have a DSI->LVDS bridge, but a
DSI->DisplayPort bridge (sn65dsi86), and I obviously don't and can't
know what monitor(s) will be attached at run-time.

I managed to get the whole chain lcdif -> mipi -> bridge -> dp-connector
to probe with these settings

	display_port0: connector {
		compatible = "dp-connector";
		label = "DP0";
		type = "full-size";
		dp-pwr-supply = <&reg_DP_PWR>;

		port {
			dp_connector_in: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi86_out>;
			};
		};
       };

	eDP: bridge at 2c {
		compatible = "ti,sn65dsi86";
		reg = <0x2c>;
		pinctrl-names = "default";
		pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_eDP>;

		interrupts-extended = <&gpio3 14 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
		enable-gpios = <&gpio3 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

		vpll-supply = <&VDD_1V8>;
		vccio-supply = <&VDD_1V8>;
		vcca-supply = <&reg_1V2>;
		vcc-supply = <&reg_1V2>;

		clocks = <&clk_38_4MHz>;
		clock-names = "refclk";

		#pwm-cells = <1>;

		ports {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			port at 0 {
				reg = <0>;
				sn65dsi86_in_a: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&mipi_dsi_out>;
				};
			};

			port at 1 {
				reg = <1>;
				sn65dsi86_out: endpoint {
					remote-endpoint = <&dp_connector_in>;
				};
			};
		};
	};

&mipi_dsi {
       status = "okay";
       samsung,burst-clock-frequency = <816000000>;
       samsung,esc-clock-frequency = <60000000>;

       ports {
	       port at 1 {
		       reg = <1>;

		       mipi_dsi_out: endpoint {
			       remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi86_in_a>;
		       };
	       };
       };
};

&lcdif1 {
	status = "okay";
};

Now hotplug-detect doesn't work with the current sn65dsi86 driver, but
that's a separate issue; when I boot with a monitor attached, its edid
is correctly read out. But I still don't get any output, and the monitor
says "no signal" - my naive attempt (which has worked fine in other
cases) was to just dd /dev/urandom to /dev/fb0, so I'm clearly missing
some important step.
