The IT66121 is a DVO to HDMI converter, LS3A5000+LS7A1000 ML5A_MB use this

This patch is developed with drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ite-it66121.c as base.
Please use the original bridge driver instead of adding a new one.

I'm agree with the spirit of code sharing, but this is nearly impossible for 
non-DT system.

Because the original bridge driver(say it66121.ko) is fully dependent on the DT.
UEFI+ACPI based system can not use with it.

Our I2C adapter is created by the drm/loongson.ko on the runtime.
The potential problem is that *cyclic dependency* !

I2C adapter driver is depend on drm/loongson
drm/loongson depend on drm bridge driver (say it66121.ko)
drm bridge driver (say it66121.ko) depend on I2C adapter to setup.

This plus the defer probe mechanism is totally a trap,
incurring troubles and don't work.


  If
it needs to be changed in any way, please help everyone else by
improving it instead of introducing new driver.
