Sorry for missing this.

Yes, you can have for example:

1. drm_bridge (mtk_dsi) -> drm_bridge (ps8640 - dsi-to-edp) -> drm_panel_bridge
(edp panel)

or a

2. drm_bridge (mtk_dsi)-> drm_panel_bridge (dsi panel)

The _first_ one is my use case

This handles the second case, where you attach a dsi panel.

Yes, in fact, this is transitional patch needed, as once I converted mtk_dpi,
mtk_dsi and mtk_hdmi to the new drm_bridge API the drm_bridge_connector_init()
will be done in mtk_drm_drv. We will need to call drm_bridge_connector_init for
dpi and dsi pipes and remove that call from mtk_dsi and mtk_dpi drivers. The
graphic controller driver should create connectors and CRTCs, as example you can
take a look at drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_drv.c

Exactly

I don't think I am breaking this use case but AFAICS there is no users in
mainline that directly connect a panel using the mediatek driver. As I said my
use case is the other so I can't really test. Do you know anyone that can test this?

Thanks,
 Enric
