Thanks Dmitry!

However, would it be okay if I instead add another patch that makes 2
versions of the "tc_edp_bridge_funcs", say "tc_dpi_edp_bridge_funcs" and
"tc_dsi_edp_bridge_funcs", that have all the same function hooks except
for the .edid_read()?

The dsi edid_read() will remain the same, and Tomi's patch - patch 2/2 -
will only fix the dpi version of the edid_read()?

The bridge already has the capability to distinguish a DSI input from a
DPI input. This can be leveraged to decide which set of functions need
to be used without any major changes.
