The drm_bridge structure contains an encoder pointer that is widely used
by bridge drivers. This pattern is largely documented as deprecated in
other KMS entities for atomic drivers.
However, one of the main use of that pointer is done in attach to just
call drm_bridge_attach on the next bridge to add it to the bridge list.
While this dereferences the bridge->encoder pointer, it's effectively
the same encoder the bridge was being attached to.
We can make it more explicit by adding the encoder the bridge is
attached to to the list of attach parameters. This also removes the need
to dereference bridge->encoder in most drivers.

i.MX DRM DT bindings allow using either a proper panel / bridge graph to
provide information about connected panels, or just a display-timings DT
node, describing just the timings and the flags. Add helper bridge
driver supporting the latter usecase. It will be used by both LDB and
parallel-display drivers.
