As suggested by Dmitry, the DRM legacy bridge driver can be pulled
out of imx/ subdir for multi-platform use. The driver is also renamed
to make it more generic and suitable for platforms other than i.MX.

"Newer designs should not use this bridge", but in patch 8 you are
introducing a new use ot devm_drm_of_display_mode_bridge(). Shouldn't you
instead "use proper panel driver instead" in patch 8?

Can you point to the conversation where the converstaion where Dmitry
suggested this change? Maybe it already contains the answer to my
qustion. Also adding a link to that conversation in the commit message
woule be useful.

First of all, thanks for your reviews on this patch series.

I think it may be a misleading issue caused by directly copying the 
previous Kconfig description. Now that the new 
devm_drm_of_display_mode_bridge() helper has been added, drivers using 
the panel-bridge framework can rely on it to maintain compatibility with 
legacy display mode parsing.

It would be better to update the comment as follows:

This is a DRM bridge implementation that uses of_get_drm_display_mode to 
acquire display mode.

It exists for compatibility with legacy display mode parsing, in order 
to conform to the panel-bridge framework.

Best regards,
Damon
