I'm agree with the spirit of code sharing, but this is nearly impossible for non-DT system.

Because the original bridge driver(say it66121.ko) is fully dependent on the DT.
UEFI+ACPI based system can not use with it.

Our I2C adapter is created by the drm/loongson.ko on the runtime.
The potential problem is that *cyclic dependency* !

I2C adapter driver is depend on drm/loongson
drm/loongson depend on drm bridge driver (say it66121.ko)
drm bridge driver (say it66121.ko) depend on I2C adapter to setup.

This plus the defer probe mechanism is totally a trap,
incurring troubles and don't work.
