Perhaps you can use the same compatible and detect based on the OF
graph connection whether it is DSI or RGB interface? That would mean
the RGB version doesn't use simple-panel driver, but that should be
okay.

If there's other users of this bridge chip, then modeling the bridge
separately would be better.
