This patch fixes null pointer de-reference,for which we require 
connector as pointer

and this patch aligns the driver to use pointer instead of connector 
structure.

HDCP state change which was handled in connector helper, have moved it 
to bridge helpers

in patch 6 of series.

Note:HDCP is not supported (Driver is used by only TI K3 Soc and HDCP is 
not supported).
