Why more tricky? At least the dt binding will be done in device driver.
Anyway, this also is reasonable to me. It seems that we need a bit different
design for such bridge driver.
Basically, exysnos drm fimd driver has one encoder and one connector, and
these are connected each other, and this connector means lcd panel without
any display bus. So if we want to use display bus, it might need to create a
new encoder and connector for the display bus device. It seems that this way
is more reasonable to me.
ie. if we want for image data goes from fimd to lcd panel, we can connect a
existing connector and crtc of fimd, and if fimd to display bus, we can
connect the new connector and the crtc of fimd through setcrtc or setplane.
Of course, for this we would need more works and efforts. Such tricky codes
definitely are not good.
