Most bridge drivers create a DRM connector to model the connector at the
output of the bridge. This model is historical and has worked pretty
well so far, but causes several issues:
- It prevents supporting more complex display pipelines where DRM
connector operations are split over multiple components. For instance a
pipeline with a bridge connected to the DDC signals to read EDID data,
and another one connected to the HPD signal to detect connection and
disconnection, will not be possible to support through this model.
- It requires every bridge driver to implement similar connector
handling code, resulting in code duplication.
- It assumes that a bridge will either be wired to a connector or to
another bridge, but doesn't support bridges that can be used in both
positions very well (although there is some ad-hoc support for this in
the analogix_dp bridge driver).
In order to solve these issues, ownership of the connector should be
moved to the display controller driver (where it can be implemented
using helpers provided by the core).
Extend the bridge API to allow disabling connector creation in bridge
drivers as a first step towards the new model. The new flags argument to
the bridge .attach() operation allows instructing the bridge driver to
skip creating a connector. Unconditionally set the new flags argument to
0 for now to keep the existing behaviour, and modify all existing bridge
drivers to return an error when connector creation is not requested as
they don't support this feature yet.
The change is based on the following semantic patch, with manual review
and edits.

We are about to add a drm_bridge_state that inherits from
drm_private_state which is defined in drm_atomic.h. Problem is,
drm_atomic.h includes drm_crtc.h which in turn includes drm_bridge.h,
leading to "drm_private_state has incomplete type" error.
Let's force all users of the drm_bridge API to explicitly include
drm_bridge.h.

drm_encoder_slave is the old way to write bridge drivers, for i2c
bridges only. It's deprecated, and definitely should not be used in
new drivers. This has absolutely nothing to do with the new bridge
driver infrastructure implemented by drm_bridge.
What's even strange is that arcpgu doesn't even use any of this, it
really only wants a plain normal drm_encoder. Nuke all the surplus
real estate.
v2: Actually git add after compile testing ...
v3: Clarify commit message and stop including drm_encoder_slave.h.

Instead of linking encoders and bridges in every driver (and getting it
wrong half of the time, as many drivers forget to set the drm_bridge
encoder pointer), do so in core code. The drm_bridge_attach() function
needs the encoder and optional previous bridge to perform that task,
update all the callers.

We have a 1:1 relationship between connectors and encoders and the
driver is relying on the atomic helpers: we can drop the custom
->best_encoder(), and let the core call drm_atomic_helper_best_encoder()
for us.

ARC PGU could be found on some development boards from Synopsys.
This is a simple byte streamer that reads data from a framebuffer
and sends data to the single encoder.
