Putting the panel under the bridge chip (under the aux-bus node)
allows the panel driver to get access to the DP AUX bus, enabling all
sorts of fabulous new features.
While we're at this, get rid of a level of hierarchy for the panel
node. It doesn't need "ports / port" and can just have a "port" child.
For Linux, this patch has a hard requirement on the patches adding DP
AUX bus support to the ti-sn65dsi86 bridge chip driver. See the patch
("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Add support for the DP AUX bus").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
