Hi Boris & Archit,

Sorry, I should have been clearer about what I did. Let me explain more 
below:

1 - I applied Eric's patch named "drm/bridge: Refactor out the panel 
wrapper from the lvds-encoder bridge" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/11/784)

2 - I did a patch on ltdc.c combining Eric's patch named "drm/ltdc: Use 
the panel-bridge helper" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/11/783) and my 
own preamble patch for STM32 DSI named "drm/stm: ltdc: Add bridge 
support" (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9738427/)

And tests are successful in both DPI mode (panel RGB //) and DSI mode 
(bridge dw mipi dsi).

As suggested in the last Archit's email, there will be a single patch 
that will add bridge support to ltdc.c and I will send it in the "STM32 
DSI HOST" v3 version, if you all agree of course :)

Many thanks for all your great comments,
Philippe
