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.

Add a new LVDS controller driver for sam9x7 which does the following:
- Prepares and enables the LVDS Peripheral clock
- Defines its connector type as DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_LVDS and adds itself
to the global bridge list.
- Identifies its output endpoint as panel and adds it to the encoder
display pipeline
- Enables the LVDS serializer
