[PATCH v2 2/2] drm/bridge: Document bridge init order with pre_enable_prev_first

In order to satisfy the MIPI DSI initialization sequence the bridge
init order has been altered with the help of pre_enable_prev_first
in pre_enable and post_disable bridge operations.

Document the affected bridge init order with an example on the
bridge operations helpers.

Changes for v2:
- add missing dri-devel in CC
- prefix @ for bridge helper names
