Hi Jagan,

Thank you for the patch.

Did you mean input instead of output ?

Instead of having code paths that depend on whether you have a panel or
a bridge, it would be better to wrap the panel a bridge (using
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/panel.c). The dsi->panel_bridge pointer should be
renamed to next_bridge, and all the code (except in probe) can the use
next_bridge without caring if it's a direct connection to a panel or
another bridge.

Furthermore, the encoder should call bridge functions explicitly, this
should be handled by the DRM core.
