This kind of code was added to existing bridge drivers when we
transitioned to the new model where bridges don't create the connectors,
because we couldn't fix all the existing bridges in one go. New bridges
must do the opposite. See imx8qxp-pixel-link.c for instance, it has this
code instead in its attach function:
if (!(flags & DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR)) {
DRM_DEV_ERROR(pl->dev,
"do not support creating a drm_connector\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
(I would personally drop the DRM_DEV_ERROR message)

No, the connector should be created by the display controller driver by
calling drm_brige_connector_init(). It should not be created by the
bridge driver. The bridge driver should provide the bridge functions
(drm_bridge_funcs), but not create any connector.
