I agree in theory, yes. However, in practice, if you remove a bridge
that is currently in use, all hell will break lose. And if the bridge
isn't being used, it makes no difference. Still, it's worth changing the
order of operations to move drm_bridge_remove() first, as it won't hurt
in any case and is logically better. It's not an issue introduced by
this series though, so how how about it on top, or in parallel ? You can
even submit a patch if you want :-)
