drm/bridge: imx: Add i.MX93 parallel display format configuration support

This commit introduces a new DRM bridge driver to support parallel display
format configuration on the NXP i.MX93 and i.MX91 SoCs. It handles format
conversions for the MEDIAMIX BLK-CTRL DISPLAY_MUX register.

[Severity: High]
Does returning a fallback format here break DRM bridge format negotiation?

When the downstream bridge requests an unsupported output format first,
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_select_bus_fmts() queries atomic_get_input_bus_fmts()
to check if the format is supported. By returning MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_1X24
instead of 0 formats, this driver falsely claims it can support the requested
output_fmt.

The core then proceeds with the unsupported format, which is correctly
rejected by imx93_pdfc_bridge_atomic_check(), aborting the modeset with
-EINVAL instead of gracefully negotiating a fallback.

Should this instead set *num_input_fmts = 0, free the array, and return NULL
when the output format is unsupported?
