This implies next_bridge will always be NULL, and so dw_hdmi_bridge_attach() [1] will always fail if called with the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag. In fact case A assumes that DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is not set and in that case it adds an HDMI Type A connector programmatically at bridge attach time. Support for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR is implemented by dw-hdmi.c in case B. However switching to base B requires that port@1 is connected to a "next bridge" DT node, typically the HDMI connector, because dw-hdmi won't add the connector when using DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR. Many dts files for imx8mp-based boards in the kernel have such a connector described and linked to port@1, so the pipeline will be fully attached up to a display-connector and a drm_connector added by the bridge-connector. Sadly some of those dts files don't have the connector described. Adding it would solve the problem easily, but this would break existing devices which do not update the dtb when upgrading to a newer kernel. In preparation for switching to case B while preserving backward compatibility for such devices, introduce a module adding the hdmi-connector node to the live device tree at init time. This will allow the dw-hdmi code to find the next bridge (the one wrapping the hdmi-connector) and let the pipeline work as before. The module is inserted only if there is no endpoint in port@1. So boards whose device tree describe the connector will not have the device tre modified, and will start isntantiating the correct HDMI connector type as described in the device tree. For boards lacking a connector description in DT the overlay will be added, abd the HDMI connector will be Type A, which is a reasonable fallback and is what the driver is currently doing.
