It'd be nice if we can do this as an interim measure for now, so at least we
have the embedded display working. IIUC to move that to the display controller
driver core I should also convert/rework the mtk_dpi and mtk_hdmi drivers. This
is used for the external display on my device but to fully support this I'll
also need to rework the bridge chain logic to handle the multi-sink/multi-source
use case. This is something I plan to work on but I suspect won't be easy and
will trigger lots of discussions, and, of course, some time.

So, if is fine I won't move this for now.

Thanks,
Enric
