Hmm, you are right. I have conflated two separate issues here. I'll back
that out.

One issue was that the DT parsing code would try to add the imx-ldb
component right after the first crtc, and then its bind would fail
in imx_drm_encoder_parse_of because the three remaining crtcs were
not yet registered. This is already fixed by adding the crtc
components first.
The other issue is that once we add bridges that also have output
ports, imx_drm_encoder_parse_of needs to skip those.

thanks
