Hi Maxime,
Thank you for the patch.

Should the bridge have two ports, one input port connected to a display engine
and one output port connected to a VGA connector ?

The DRM core adds modes up to 1024x768 in
drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes(). I wonder if it really makes sense
to override that in drivers, compared to increasing the maximum resolution in
the core. What we can reasonable expect from a VGA monitor doesn't really
depend on which display engine it is connected to.

Shouldn't that be connector_status_unknown if you have no information about
the connection status ?
Would it make sense to add an optional GPIO-based connection detection to this
driver ?

You're leaking the reference to the I2C adapter.
Also, shouldn't you use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() ? Otherwise you won't
take a reference to the adapter module.
