This patch attempts to convert the ingenic-dw-hdmi driver
into a version that uses the component framework.

Why ? What problem would this solve ?

Well, it was suggested in a v1 we did post several months ago. I have not
looked up by whom and do not exactly remember the reasons.
We now simply thought that it is common style since dome dw-hdmi drivers
make use of it but some others don't. And we got it working without.
If it is not needed/requested by anyone, we can drop it from v3 (or add later).

I don't remember exactly TBH - the only reason to use a component is to have access to the main driver's "drm_device" structure. The IPU needs it for instance, to register planes; but I don't think this HDMI driver needs it as it registers a bridge.

Cheers,

Ok, fine! We'll drop it and don't waste time.

BR and thanks,
NIkolaus
