At least, dt binding shoul be done in real device driver so this way
is not good. Let's find a better way.

I don't mean that the bridge device should be initialized by fimd
directly but the fimd driver provides just interfaces abstracted to
control the bridge device. And basically, the exynos_drm_display_ops
shouldn't be in fimd driver but in real connector driver; i.e. lcd
panel or LVDS driver. The reason I placed the exynos_drm_display_ops
in fimd driver is that lcd panel driver is controlled by lcd class
depended on Linux framebuffer, and I thought the panel driver should
be shared with drm driver in case of ARM SoC. The
exynos_drm_display_ops should be moved into right place if something
better exists some time or other.
So how can the DP driver control the bridge device as of now? the DP
you mentioned would be eDP, and the eDP driver is placed in
drivers/video/exynos/, and also MIPI-DSI driver.
