You are right!

Upon taking a second look, I realize that the bridge chain works with
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED bus format, when tc358767 is being used in DPI/DSI
to eDP mode (because the panel-bridge does not have a get_output_bus_fmt
hook, and uses the same helper for its get_input_bus_fmt hook). My patch
creates a deviation from that, by forcing MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_1X24 even
when eDP is involved.

Using the helper here, will certainly address this deviation.

However, for the DPI/DSI to DP mode, MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_1X24 bus
format is required, and *just* using the helper as its get_input_bus_fmt
hook, might not be enough.

Since tc358767 is the last bridge in DPI/DSI to DP mode, the
output_fmt parameter get defaulted to MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED too, as there
is no get_output_bus_fmt hook present in the driver. If we simply us
the helper here, the input_fmt will also get set to MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED.
This too is an unwanted deviation.

It seems like the right way to address both the cases, would be by
adding the get_output_bus_fmt hook that sets output_fmt to
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_1X24, as well as using the helper as the
get_input_bus_fmt hook.

If this seems good to you too, I will send a new version of Tomi's
series[0] which incorporates this patch.

Aradhya
