This patch set contains _two_ modules which use the imx-ldb-helper,
i.e., the imx8qxp-ldb driver(patch 12/14) and the imx8qm-ldb
driver(patch 13/14).  It looks that we cannot link the imx-ldb-helper
with them respectively.  So, I think keeping imx-ldb-helper as a module
is the only option.

Yes, for now, two drivers(imx8qxp-ldb and imx8qm-ldb) use
imx-ldb-helper.

I don't think #1 is a valid option, as we cannot link imx-ldb-helper
object with imx8qxp-ldb driver and imx8qm-ldb driver respectively.

As I mentioned before, the i.MX53/6qdl LDB driver(imx-ldb) is a DRM
encoder driver.  It doesn't look straight-forward to include a header
for bridge drivers there.

An alternative is to first convert imx-ldb to be a pure bridge
driver(called imx53-ldb.c, perhaps) and to put it in
drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/imx folder.  But, it's not an easy task, because
the imx-drm for i.MX51/53/6dql IPU display controller needs to create
DRM encoders & connectors instead, and the other relevant encoder
drivers (imx-tve, parallel-display and dw_hdmi-imx) needs to be
converted to bridge drivers as well.  This is not what this patch set
can cover, IMHO. Perhaps, it will be done later on.

In all, it looks ok to keep imx-ldb-helper as a module and move the
header(imx-ldb-helper.h) to the 'drivers' folder.  Agree?
