The main goal of this series is the final patch in the series: to allow test code to reliably find out if we ended up hitting the "fallback" case of the generic edp-panel driver where we don't recognize a panel and choose to use super conservative timing.
Version 1 of the patch actually landed but was quickly reverted since it was pointed out that it should have been done in debugfs, not sysfs. As discussed on IRC [1], we want this support to be under the "connector" directory of debugfs but there was no existing way to do that. Thus patch #2 in the series was born to try to plumb this through. It was asserted that it would be OK to rely on a fairly modern display pipeline for this plumbing and perhaps fail to populate the debugfs file if we're using older/deprecated pipelines. Patch #1 in the series was born because the bridge chip I was using was still using an older/deprecated pipeline. While this doesn't get us fully to a modern pipeline for ti-sn65dsi86 (it still doesn't move to "NO_CONNECTOR") it hopefully moves us in the right direction. This was tested on sc7180-trogdor devices with _both_ the ti-sn65dsi86 and the parade-ps8640 bridge chips (since some devices have one, some the other). The parade-ps8640 already uses supports "NO_CONNECTOR", luckily.
