Most bridge drivers create a DRM connector to model the connector at the
output of the bridge. This model is historical and has worked pretty
well so far, but causes several issues:
- It prevents supporting more complex display pipelines where DRM
connector operations are split over multiple components. For instance a
pipeline with a bridge connected to the DDC signals to read EDID data,
and another one connected to the HPD signal to detect connection and
disconnection, will not be possible to support through this model.
- It requires every bridge driver to implement similar connector
handling code, resulting in code duplication.
- It assumes that a bridge will either be wired to a connector or to
another bridge, but doesn't support bridges that can be used in both
positions very well (although there is some ad-hoc support for this in
the analogix_dp bridge driver).
In order to solve these issues, ownership of the connector should be
moved to the display controller driver (where it can be implemented
using helpers provided by the core).
Extend the bridge API to allow disabling connector creation in bridge
drivers as a first step towards the new model. The new flags argument to
the bridge .attach() operation allows instructing the bridge driver to
skip creating a connector. Unconditionally set the new flags argument to
0 for now to keep the existing behaviour, and modify all existing bridge
drivers to return an error when connector creation is not requested as
they don't support this feature yet.
The change is based on the following semantic patch, with manual review
and edits.

Propagate bus format/flags so that the previous bridge element in the
chain knows which input format the panel bridge expects.
v11:
* Fix a typo in the subject
* Update the commit message so it's readable by itself
v10:
* Add changelog to the commit message
v8 -> v9:
* No changes
v7:
* Set atomic state hooks explicitly
v4 -> v6:
* Not part of the series
v3:
* Adjust things to match the new bus-format negotiation approach
* Use drm_atomic_helper_bridge_propagate_bus_fmt
* Don't implement ->atomic_check() (the core now takes care of bus
flags propagation)
v2:
* Adjust things to match the new bus-format negotiation approach

Drop the virtio_gpu_{disable,enable}_notify(). Add a new
virtio_gpu_notify() call instead, which must be called whenever
the driver wants make sure the host is notified needed.
Drop automatic notification from command submission. Add
virtio_gpu_notify() calls after each command query instead.
This allows more fine-grained control over host notification
and can move around the notify calls in subsequent patches to
batch command submissions. With this in place it is also
possible to make notification optional for userspace ioctls.
Page flip batching goes away (temporarely).
v3:
- move batching to separate patches.
v2:
- rebase to latest drm-misc-next.
- use "if (!atomic_read())".
- add review & test tags.

partially by the EDAC core *and* the driver core, which is problematic
to say the least.
