Most bridge drivers create a DRM connector to model the connector at the
output of the bridge. This model is historical and has worked pretty
well so far, but causes several issues:
- It prevents supporting more complex display pipelines where DRM
connector operations are split over multiple components. For instance a
pipeline with a bridge connected to the DDC signals to read EDID data,
and another one connected to the HPD signal to detect connection and
disconnection, will not be possible to support through this model.
- It requires every bridge driver to implement similar connector
handling code, resulting in code duplication.
- It assumes that a bridge will either be wired to a connector or to
another bridge, but doesn't support bridges that can be used in both
positions very well (although there is some ad-hoc support for this in
the analogix_dp bridge driver).
In order to solve these issues, ownership of the connector should be
moved to the display controller driver (where it can be implemented
using helpers provided by the core).
Extend the bridge API to allow disabling connector creation in bridge
drivers as a first step towards the new model. The new flags argument to
the bridge .attach() operation allows instructing the bridge driver to
skip creating a connector. Unconditionally set the new flags argument to
0 for now to keep the existing behaviour, and modify all existing bridge
drivers to return an error when connector creation is not requested as
they don't support this feature yet.
The change is based on the following semantic patch, with manual review
and edits.

Propagate bus format/flags so that the previous bridge element in the
chain knows which input format the panel bridge expects.
v11:
* Fix a typo in the subject
* Update the commit message so it's readable by itself
v10:
* Add changelog to the commit message
v8 -> v9:
* No changes
v7:
* Set atomic state hooks explicitly
v4 -> v6:
* Not part of the series
v3:
* Adjust things to match the new bus-format negotiation approach
* Use drm_atomic_helper_bridge_propagate_bus_fmt
* Don't implement ->atomic_check() (the core now takes care of bus
flags propagation)
v2:
* Adjust things to match the new bus-format negotiation approach

The drm panel bridge creates a connector using a connector type
explicitly passed by the display controller or bridge driver that
instantiates the panel bridge. Now that drm_panel reports its connector
type, we can use it to avoid passing an explicit (and often incorrect)
connector type to drm_panel_bridge_add() and
devm_drm_panel_bridge_add().
Several drivers report incorrect or unknown connector types to
userspace. Reporting a different type may result in a breakage. For that
reason, rename (devm_)drm_panel_bridge_add() to
(devm_)drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(), and add new
(devm_)drm_panel_bridge_add() functions that use the panel connector
type. Update all callers of (devm_)drm_panel_bridge_add() to the _typed
function, they will be converted one by one after testing.
The panel drivers have been updated with the following Coccinelle
semantic patch, with manual inspection and fixes to indentation.

Many DRM drivers have common code to make a stub connector
implementation that wraps a drm_panel. By wrapping the panel in a DRM
bridge, all of the connector code (including calls during encoder
enable/disable) goes away.
v2: Fix build with CONFIG_DRM=m, drop "dev" argument that should just
be the panel's dev, move kerneldoc up a level and document
_remove().
v3: Fix another breakage with CONFIG_DRM=m, fix breakage with
CONFIG_OF=n, move protos under CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE, wrap a
line.
