drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Break GPIO and MIPI-to-eDP bridge into sub-drivers
Let's use the newly minted aux bus to break up the driver into sub
drivers. We're not doing a full breakup here: all the code is still in
the same file and remains largely untouched. The big goal here of
using sub-drivers is to allow part of our code to finish probing even
if some other code needs to defer. This can solve some chicken-and-egg
problems. Specifically:
- In commit 48834e6084f1 ("drm/panel-simple: Support hpd-gpios for
delaying prepare()") we had to add a bit of a hack to simpel-panel
to support HPD showing up late. We can get rid of that hack now
since the GPIO part of our driver can finish probing early.
- We have a desire to expose our DDC bus to simple-panel (and perhaps
to a backlight driver?). That will end up with the same
chicken-and-egg problem. A future patch to move this to a sub-driver
will fix it.
- If/when we support the PWM functionality present in the bridge chip
for a backlight we'll end up with another chicken-and-egg
problem. If we allow the PWM to be a sub-driver too then it solves
this problem.
