I think you could rather say something like "now that this bridge
supports DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, and tidss, the only user of
this bridge, always sets DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, we can remove
the legacy code for the non-DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR case"

This looks odd. The removed code looks odd too, so maybe the issue is in
patch 1 (I replied to that patch again). But assuming the old code is
right, the new code is still different than the old:

Previously cdns_mhdp_update_link_status()'s ret value is used, and
background work is started on error (when we have connector_ptr). Now
the ret value is ignored, no bg work.

Afaics, we can get the hpd_work call with or without connector_ptr, as
we can get HPD when the bridge is enabled or disabled. So in the removed
code both branches can be taken. But the new code only has one of the
branches. And I still don't understand what exactly it's doing.
