DRM bridges are currently considered as a fixed element of a DRM card, and
thus their lifetime is assumed to extend for as long as the card
exists. New use cases, such as hot-pluggable hardware with video bridges,
require DRM bridges to be added to and removed from a DRM card without
tearing the card down. This is possible for connectors already (used by DP
MST), it is now needed for DRM bridges as well.
As a first preliminary step, make bridges reference-counted to allow a
struct drm_bridge (along with the private driver structure embedding it) to
stay allocated even after the driver has been removed, until the last
reference is put.

Changes in v8:
- move back drm_bridge_get/put() to the .c file, make __drm_bridge_free
private
- move back drm_bridge_put_void() to .c, not used in this series outside
of drm_bridge.c
- remove drm_bridge_put_and_clear(), not used in this series
- minor docs and coding style tweaks
Changes in v7:
- export drm_bridge_put_void
- struct drm_bridge: use container pointer instead of container_offset
- remove drm_bridge_is_refcounted()
- remove all DRM_DEBUG()s
- drm_bridge_get/put: accept NULL pointer and return the bridge pointer to
allow pass-through calls
- extract to separate patches:
- the addition of drm_bridge_alloc
- the addition of drm_bridge_get/put() to drm_bridge_add/remove()
- the addition of drm_bridge_get/put() to drm_bridge_attach/detach()
- fix a typo, slightly improve kerneldoc
Changes in v6:
- use drm_warn, not WARN_ON (Jani Nikula)
- Add devm_drm_bridge_alloc() to replace drm_bridge_init() (similar to
drmm_encoder_alloc)
- Remove .destroy func: deallocation is done via the struct offset
computed by the devm_drm_bridge_alloc() macro
- use fixed free callback, as the same callback is used in all cases
anyway (remove free_cb, add bool is_refcounted)
- add drm_bridge_get/put() to drm_bridge_attach/detach() (add the bridge
to a list)
- make some DRM_DEBUG() strings more informative
This patch was added in v5.
