Hi Peter,

It already was the selection 'policy' in place in this driver before
introducing bridge formats. As you can see from the switch I have here
removed, the first format was selected even when only the format
reported by the connector was inspected.

And, anyway, as DRM lacks a format negotiation API, there is no way to
tell a bridge/panel "use this format instead of this other one" (which
makes me wonders why more formats can be reported, but the
bus_formats[] helpers for connectors allow that, so I thought it made
sense to do the same for bridges).

There is no fallback selection policy at the moment as you can see, or
either, as it was before, the LVDS mode is not set for the rcar_lvds
component  if it's not reported by the next element in the pipeline (and I
should probably return 0, not an error here in that case).

The connector associated with a panel is only inspected if it's next in the
pipeline.

You are correct, the second assignment should have been an |= and not
a plain assignment. The variable is 0ed though, as 'struct rcar_lvds
*lvds' is kzalloc-ed in probe function.
