I have given the logs of why it's not working. I did my best to
explain. Samsung-dsim is not component-based it is a non-component DSI
host bridge exclusively for imx8mm and Exynos DSI is component-based.
Samsung-dsim we have a platform calls to call Exynos which will
operate component binding. This means that imx8mm stuff cannot use the
component framework at all.

This is all I can explain. and adding panel or bridge finding code in
the probe simply not working on imx8mm as it is non-component based.

Thanks for your patience in answering queries.

Jagan.
