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 48834e60 ("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.
