[PATCH v5 00/25] Clean and update tilcdc driver to support DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR

["Kory Maincent (TI.com)" <kory.maincent@bootlin.com>]

The starting point for this work was adding support for the HDMI cape:
https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-Studio-BeagleBone-Green-HDMI-Cape.html
This will be sent in a later series.

Initially, Miguel proposed modifying the ite-it66121 bridge to support
the legacy behavior without the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250909-it66121-fix-v1-1-bc79ca83df17@bootlin.com/
This patch was NAK'd as we don't want to add more legacy code. Maxime
requested that the tilcdc driver be updated to use
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR instead.

While working on this update, I discovered that the tilcdc driver
contained significant amounts of legacy code that needed cleaning.
Since this driver was developed alongside the tda998x driver for
several AM335x boards, the tda998x driver also required cleanup and
support for the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag.

A new tilcdc_panel_legacy driver replaces the old tilcdc_panel driver.
It modifies the devicetree at boot time to properly bind the tilcdc driver
with the standard panel-simple driver.

This series is based on the tilcdc fix sent to mainline:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251125090546.137193-1-kory.maincent@bootlin.com/

This series has been tested on:
- BeagleBone Black (tilcdc + tda998x bridge)
- BeagleBone Black with LCD cape (tilcdc + ti,tilcdc,panel binding)
- BeagleBone Green Eco with HDMI cape (tilcdc + it66121 bridge)

The following mainline devicetrees still use ti,tilcdc,panel binding.
I believe this series maintains compatibility, but I cannot test without
hardware:
- da850-evm.dts
- am335x-guardian.dts
- am335x-pdu001.dts
- am335x-pepper.dts
- am335x-sbc-t335.dts
- am335x-sl50.dts

Patches 1-2: Convert tilcdc binding to YAML and set the ti,tilcdc,panel
	     sub-binding as legacy.
Patches 3-6: Replace tilcdc_panel driver to the new tilcdc_panel_legacy
	     driver which is tweaking the devicetree at boot time.
Patches 7-20: Clean up tilcdc driver.
Patches 21-23: Clean up tda998x driver.
Patch 24: Add DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR support for tda998x driver.
Patch 25: Add DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR support for tilcdc driver.

Changes in v5:
- Fix a missing cleanup path.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260116-feature_tilcdc-v4-0-2c1c22143087@bootlin.com

Changes in v4:
- Use device_get_match_data instead of of_match_node.
- Convert the driver to use DRM managed resources to avoid lifetime
  resources issue.
- Add a patch to convert to drm_device-based logging helpers.
- Replace drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() with the newer
  devm_drm_of_get_bridge() helper.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260106-feature_tilcdc-v3-0-9bad0f742164@bootlin.com

Changes in v3:
- Split patch 13 and patch 14 into two for better readability and git
  history clarity.
- Update patch 5 to use OF changeset and __free() macro. Made also few
  small improvements as requested by Luca.
- Rename binding file to ti,am33xx-tilcdc.yaml, use generic node name and
  drop unused label.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251211-feature_tilcdc-v2-0-f48bac3cd33e@bootlin.com

Changes in v2:
- Remove patch 2 that add fifo-threshold property. Use FIFO threshold
  value from SoC id instead.
- Remove the part that breaks DTB compatibility.
- Add tilcdc_panel_legacy to modify the devicetree at boot time to properly
  bind the tilcdc driver with the standard panel-simple driver.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251126-feature_tilcdc-v1-0-49b9ef2e3aa0@bootlin.com
