Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

Couldn't it also support active RGB to VGA bridges that don't require any 
configuration ? It would seem a bit pointless to define a separate DT binding 
for them.

Bridges should really not create connectors. Fixing this problem is a bit out 
of scope for your patch, but I'm concerned that the growing number of bridge 
drivers will make it difficult to fix it later.

Those four operations are optional, you don't need dumb_vga_nop().
