This adds support for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR by adding the
bridge get_edid() and detect() callbacks after refactoring the
connector
get_modes() and connector_detect() callbacks.

In order to keep the bridge working, extra code in get_modes() has been
moved to more logical places.

Hi,

This patch broke ARM/QEMU vexpress display because of_drm_find_bridge()
always fail with -EPROBE_DEFER. Reverting this patch returns display
back. Please fix or revert, thanks in advance.

Can you share a QEMU cmdline to reproduce ?

Actually the vexpress DT has multiple input ports instead of a single
input port at @0
and an output port at @1 like documented in the bindings:

vexpress-v2m.dtsi#L303-L307:
ports {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;

    /*
     * Both the core tile and the motherboard routes their output
     * pads to this transmitter. The motherboard system controller
     * can select one of them as input using a mux register in
     * "arm,vexpress-muxfpga". The Vexpress with the CA9 core tile is
     * the only platform with this specific set-up.
     */
    port@0 {
        reg = <0>;
        dvi_bridge_in_ct: endpoint {
            remote-endpoint = <&clcd_pads_ct>;
        };
    };
    port@1 {
        reg = <1>;
        dvi_bridge_in_mb: endpoint {
            remote-endpoint = <&clcd_pads_mb>;
        };
    };
};

bindings:
  ports:
    $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/ports

    properties:
      port@0:
        $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
        description: Parallel RGB input port

      port@1:
        $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
        description: HDMI output port

      port@3:
        $ref: /schemas/graph.yaml#/properties/port
        description: Sound input port

The patch is conform to the bindings, the DT was working but is actually
not valid.

I haven't looked closely at how to fix this properly, but if we can fix
it using of_machine_is_compatible("arm,vexpress") workaround in the
driver, then it will be good enough at least as a temporal fix, IMO.

If other maintainers are ok with that, it can be temporary fix until the DT gets fixed.
