Does this need to be balanced with a pm_runtime_disable() call ? Bridges
can be attached and detached at runtime when reloading the display
controller drivers, so you need to ensure that detach/re-attach cycles
work.

If I understand the issue correctly, this is part of an effort to avoid
disabling a potentially display output until we get as close as possible
to display handover, right ? Is there a drawback in always enabling
runtime PM when the bridge is attached instead of at probe time ? I
think we need to come up with a set of rules for bridge driver authors,
otherwise we'll end up with incompatible expectations of bridge drivers
and display controller drivers.
