Hi Boris,

Thank you for the patch.

The code looks fine to me, but I think you should update the
documentation to explain this. It currently states:

 * Calls &drm_bridge_funcs.pre_enable op for all the bridges in the encoder
 * chain, starting from the last bridge to the first. These are called
 * before calling the encoder's commit op.
 *
 * Note: the bridge passed should be the one closest to the encoder

I suggest stating instead that the operation is called from the last
bridge to the bridge passed as the argument. The note should then either
be removed, or updated to state that bridge is usually the bridge
closest to the encoder, but can be any other bridge if the caller only
wants to execute the operation on a subset of the chain. It's also
probably worth it updating the other functions accordingly.
