To be honest, previously, I'm just do it exactly same as the way you
told me here. But I'm exhausted and finally give up.

Because this is again need me to modify *all* callers of 
drm_bridge_add(), not only those bridges in drm/bridge/, but also
bridge instances in various KMS drivers.

However, their some exceptions just don't fit!

For example, the imx/imx8qxp-pixel-combiner.c just don't fit our
simple model. Our helper function assume that one device backing
one drm_bridge instance (1 to 1). Yet, that driver backing two or
more bridges with one platform device (1 to 2, 1 to 3, ..., ).
Hence, the imx/imx8qxp-pixel-combiner.c just can't use 
drm_bridge_add_with_dev().

The aux_hpd_bridge.c is also bad, it store the of_node of struct device 
at the .platform_data member of the struct device.
