drm/mxsfb/lcdif: use DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR and the bridge-connector

Convert this driver to DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR and to the
drm_bridge_connector framework which is the current DRM bridge best
practice.

Based on the in-tree dts[i] files this introduces no regression. Based on
the kernel doc of drm_bridge_connector.c:

 * To make use of this helper, all bridges in the chain shall report bridge
 * operation flags (&drm_bridge->ops) and bridge output type
 * (&drm_bridge->type), as well as the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR attach
 * flag (none of the bridges shall create a DRM connector directly).

and each of the 3 LCDIF blocks in the i.MX8MP, all of them comply with the
above requirement:

 * For the LCDIF3, the pipeline is:

   LCDIF3 -> fsl,imx8mp-hdmi-pvi -> fsl,imx8mp-hdmi-tx -> HDMI connector

   And the involved bridges are:

   * fsl,imx8mp-hdmi-pvi has ops = 0 (it doesn't set it) because it
     implements none the optional features mentioned by those flags, and it
     honors the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR by propagating it

   * fsl,imx8mp-hdmi-tx is implemented based on dw-hdmi, which sets ops as
     appropriate and also propagates the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag

   * display-connector (enabled via the DT overlay if needed) sets ops and
     makes DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR mandatory

 * The LCDIF2 involves the panel-bridge, display-connector and lvds-decoder
   (even though only the pane-bridge is currently supported), and all these
   three also set ops as needed and propagate
   DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR or make it mandatory.

 * The LCDIF1 is used with the adv7511, tc358767 and the panel bridge
   drivers which also comply with the requirements.
