I need some clarity here.

IIRC, if the bridge does initialize the connector in case
where the encoder does not attach the bridge with the
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR (DBANC) flag (referring to tidss
encoder before we implemented the DBANC feature), then
drm_connector_helper_func are called and drm_bridge_funcs
are NOT called (atleast from what I have seen in detect
hook for cdns-mhdp-8546 driver which is there in both
structures).

I do not have any platform to test non-DBANC encoders.
And I did not want to break any platform that were still using
bridge_attach without DBANC flag.
That is why I kept mode_valid hook in both structures.

Are you implying that if connector_helper_funcs are not there
then there will be some sort of fallback to bridge_funcs instead
of passthrough for mode_valid check? Because that goes against my
previous observations.

Thanks,
Jayesh
