Not to sound too negative - I love what you are doing - but using a MIPI DSI -> eDP bridge IC does not get rid of any proprietary blobs.
In practice, those bridge ICs contain general purpose MCU cores, and run a proprietary firmware blob. You can usually update it over I2C. So you've just shifted the blob from one part of the stack (AP firmware) to another (bridge IC firmware).
