If the bridge has a too strict setup time for the incoming
signals, we may not be fast enough and then we need to
compensate by outputting the signal on the inverse clock
edge so it is for sure stable when the bridge samples it.

Since bridges in difference to panels does not expose their
connectors, make the connector optional in the display
setup code.

ChangeLog v5->v6:
- Collect Laurent's ACK.
ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Use the new bridge timings setup method.

Should this be in PL111, or in whatever machine is a consumer of this
driver plus a dumb dac?  I'm OK either way, it's not a big deal for the
platform I've got.

This looks like it might be a debug printf you didn't intend to leave
in.  Either way, the patch gets my:
