[PATCH 0/3] Add VGA support for Apalis iMX6

This series adds a device tree overlay that enables the VGA output on Apalis
iMX6, which is driven from a parallel RGB interface passing through a
non-programmable video DAC.

The video DAC is a simple resistor network gated by an active-low
data-enable signal. For the bridge to work properly, this series also
changes the following in the dt-bindings and simple-bridge driver:

- dt-bindings: Add a new compatible for the bridge in the simple-bridge
  binding. This is necessary because the existing dumb-vga-dac compatible
  doesn't describe a data-enable signal polarity.

- simple-bridge: Add the VGA bridge match-table entry and timings
  struct, setting the DRM_BUS_FLAG_DE_LOW flag for the bridge.

This change depends on another patch, and should be applied after it:

- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261002-v1-simple-bridge-atomic-check-v1-1-ef5d8332b078@toradex.com/T/#u

  Adds the atomic_check function to the simple-bridge driver, which
  allows the data-enable bus flag to be propagated through the DRM
  pipeline. This is necessary for the VGA to work correctly on the
  Apalis iMX6.
