This series introduces:
  - A device tree binding YAML file describing the hardware
  - A new DRM bridge driver implementing the basic functionality

  LT9611C(EX/UXD) is an I2C-controlled chip that Receiver signal/dual port
  mipi dsi and output hdmi, differences in hardware features:
  - LT9611C: supports 1-port mipi dsi to hdmi 1.4
  - LT9611EX: supports 2-port mipi dsi to hdmi 1.4
  - LT9611UXD: supports 2-port mipi dsi to hdmi 1.4/2.0

Changes in v9:
- Use regmap_bulk_write for 4-byte header write in read_write_flow
- Replace while(1) loop with read_poll_timeout in lt9611c_block_erase; read_flash_reg_status now returns unsigned int
- Fix unchecked regmap_read in lt9611c_upgrade_result; return -EIO on CRC mismatch
- Add struct lt9611c_chip_data with chip_type and max_tmds_rate; fix i2c_device_id table driver_data to use chip data pointers
- Use put_unaligned_be16() to replace manual high/low byte splits in lt9611c_video_setup
- Extract lt9611c_write_infoframe() and lt9611c_clear_infoframe() helpers; consolidate 6 infoframe functions into 2 helpers
- Remove lt9611c_hdmi_audio_startup and its bridge_funcs entry
- Remove hpd_enable callback from bridge_funcs
- Fix scoped_guard(mutex) deadlock in audio_prepare: release lock before calling drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_update_audio_infoframe()
- Fix probe order: lt9611c_reset() before enable_irq()
- Fix remove(): remove disable_irq() (IRQ is devm_request_threaded_irq-managed)
- Fix bridge_suspend() unwind: on regulator_bulk_disable failure, de-assert reset and re-enable IRQ
- Move devm_drm_bridge_add to after both DSI attaches; remove cancel_work_sync from err_remove_bridge label
- Move request_firmware outside mcu_lock in lt9611c_firmware_upgrade; lock only wraps hardware access
- Re-read lt9611c->fw_version after successful firmware_store upgrade
- Rename ocm_lock to mcu_lock throughout
- Use goto err_put_dsi1 to eliminate duplicate DSI cleanup in probe error path
- Fix mcu_lock comment to correctly describe what it protects
- dt-binding: add if:then: block to disallow port@1 when compatible is lontium,lt9611c
- Rename sysfs ABI doc to sysfs-driver-lontium; rename sysfs attribute from lt9611c_firmware to firmware
- Kconfig: add I2C to depends on to satisfy REGMAP_I2C dependency
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260728-lt9611c-v7-v8-0-bda216bfaf37-5oFBVzJwu8Ry9aJCnZT0Uw@public.gmane.org/

  Changes in v8:
  - Refactor lt9611c_read_write_flow() to take a struct lt9611c_cmd parameter with an embedded struct lt9611c_cmd_hdr (func,
  type, seq, sep) and optional data payload, eliminating raw byte arrays at call sites
  - Add LT9611C_CMD_HDR_SIZE, LT9611C_EDID_BUF_SIZE constants to replace magic numbers
  - Use container_of_const() in bridge_to_lt9611c_const()
  - Remove obvious /*read only*/ comment
  - Use unsigned long cast instead of uintptr_t for chip type initialization
  - Replace memset + memcpy with memcpy + memset for CRC buffer preparation
  - Add ABI documentation for lt9611c_firmware sysfs attribute
  - Fix Kconfig help text to proper prose within line limits
  - Add disable_irq() before cancel_work_sync() in lt9611c_remove()
  - Add cancel_work_sync() in lt9611c_bridge_suspend()
  - Inline lt9611c_gpio_init() into probe
  - Use of_drm_get_bridge_by_endpoint() instead of drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() + drm_bridge_get()
  - Return error if LT9611C (single DSI only) is configured with dual DSI in device tree
  - Move HPD status read_write_flow call from IRQ handler to lt9611c_hpd_work workqueue
  - Removed second lt9611_reset call from probe as not needed
  - Add struct lt9611c_rsp symmetric to struct lt9611c_cmd — both embed struct lt9611c_cmd_hdr
  - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260716-lt9611c-v7-v7-0-7553a14735fc-5oFBVzJwu8Ry9aJCnZT0Uw@public.gmane.org/

  Changes in v7:
  - Use i2c_get_match_data() for chip type initialization
  - Implement hdmi_write_hdmi_infoframe/hdmi_clear_hdmi_infoframe
  - Use drm_atomic_commit in bridge callbacks
  - Removing redundant lt9611c_reset() call and cleanup in probe error
    path
  - Populate bridge.vendor and bridge.product
  - implement hpd_enable callback
  - fix DT parsing and bridge refcount
  - Removed pre_enable and post_disable callbacks, it was affecting hpd
    as regulator was disabled
  - Changed reset gpio enablement and lt9611c_reset api.
