[PATCH v5 2/5] drm/bridge: Add RGB to VGA bridge support

Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

Some boards have an entirely passive RGB to VGA bridge, based on either
DACs or resistor ladders.

A resistor ladder is a DAC :-)

Those might or might not have an i2c bus routed to the VGA connector in
order to access the screen EDIDs.

Add a bridge that doesn't do anything but expose the modes available on the
screen, either based on the EDIDs if available, or based on the XGA
standards.

You can use drm_connector_cleanup directly here.

Nitpicking, there's no need for an ellipsis ("..."). I'd write the message as 
"DDC not available, disabling EDID readout".

You could also turn it into a dev_dbg() message as I'm not sure it's really 
crucial information, that's up to you.

If we changing the compatible string to "dumb-vga-dac" as proposed by Archit, 
let's not forget to rename the driver (dumb-vga-dac.ko seems a good match) as 
well as the description string below ("Dumb VGA DAC bridge driver" ?). Both 
The DT binding and Kconfig texts need to be updated as well.

I would also rename struct dumb_vga to dumb_vga_dac, that's up to you.
