Re: [PATCH 6/7] drm/vc4: dpi: Change the default DPI format to being 18bpp, not 24.

Hi Maxime (and Dave),

Thank you for the patch.

Doesn't the bridge infrastructure allow that ? Or maybe this commit
message was written a while ago, before it was possible ?

In any case, it would be nice to use the bus format exposed by the next
bridge in the chain, but that can be done in a subsequent step. The new
default seems reasonable.
