All DRM bridges are now supposed to be allocated using devm_drm_bridge_alloc(), which is cleaner and necessary to support refcounting.
In the absence of a drm_bridge_init() or such initialization function, document the new mandatory alloc function on the first DRM bridge core function that is called after allocation, i.e. drm_bridge_add().
