I really don't want to anticipate bridge maintainer's feedback, but new
bridge drivers must not contain connector creation. That must happen
somewhere else.
Also I'm neither seeing any drm_brige struct nor drm_bridge_funcs, which
are both essential for a bridge driver. I don't think moving a part of a
driver to .../drm/bridge/ makes it a bridge driver.

Regeards,
Alex
