You're absolutely right, and this is just an interim measure. Delegating
operations to the next bridge in the chain is legacy code, only used
when DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR isn't set. It should eventually go
away when all users will be converted to the new model.

Except that drm_bridge_funcs.get_edid() is documented as returning NULL,
and drm_get_edid() returns NULL on errors. I'm thus tempted to just fix
the documentation of drm_bridge_get_edid() to return NULL on error.
There could be value in using error pointers through the whole EDID API,
but that's a subsystem-wide change that is out of scope for this series.

The patch tries to keep the existing coding style in the driver. I could
convert everything to dev_*, but that should go in a separate patch.

It's a good point, I'll fix that.
