Public bug reported:

Configuring "/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml" with an anonymous bridge seems
to require running "ip link set dev br0 up" to bring the bridge up after
boot. A bridge configured with an IP address is automatically up after
boot.

This is only a problem if you want an anonymous bridge which comes up
automatically after boot. For example, if you preferred to isolate host
traffic from your autostarting virtual machine traffic.

Configuration that results in the bridge being down after boot:
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp22s2:
      dhcp4: yes
    enp22s3:
      dhcp4: no
  bridges:
    br0:
      interfaces: [enp22s3]
      dhcp4: false
      parameters:
        stp: false
        forward-delay: 0

Enabling DHCP results in a bridge that is automatically up after boot:
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp22s2:
      dhcp4: yes
    enp22s3:
      dhcp4: no
  bridges:
    br0:
      interfaces: [enp22s3]
      dhcp4: true
      parameters:
        stp: false
        forward-delay: 0

Setting a static IP address results in a bridge that is automatically up after 
boot:
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    enp22s2:
      dhcp4: yes
    enp22s3:
      dhcp4: no
  bridges:
    br0:
      interfaces: [enp22s3]
      dhcp4: false
      addresses: [192.168.1.100/24]
      parameters:
        stp: false
        forward-delay: 0
