Since drm_bridge is not exposed to userspace it's not part of core drm and
imo should be a helper library - it's only used by drivers internally to
help them implement modesetting. New chapter under "Mode Setting Helper
Functions" sounds best to me.

Btw drm_bridge being a core part of drm is another thing we probably
should fix up eventually. I looked into doing that a while ago, but it
wasn't quite that simple. And I don't have a good arm build-test setup, so
hard to make sure I've caught all drivers and made sure they depend upon
DRM_KMS_HELPER properly.

Cheers, Daniel
