[PATCH v2 0/9] drm/bridge: get/put the bridge when looping over the encoder chain

[Luca Ceresoli]

This series adds drm_bridge_get/put() calls for DRM bridges used when
looping over bridges in an encoder chain.

This is part of the work towards removal of bridges from a still existing
DRM pipeline without use-after-free. The grand plan was discussed in [1].
Here's the work breakdown (➜ marks the current series):

 1. ➜ add refcounting to DRM bridges (struct drm_bridge)
    (based on devm_drm_bridge_alloc() [0])
    A. ✔ add new alloc API and refcounting (in v6.16-rc1)
    B. ✔ convert all bridge drivers to new API (now in drm-misc-next)
    C. ✔ kunit tests (now in drm-misc-next)
    D. ✔ add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detach()
         and warn on old allocation pattern (now in drm-misc-next)
    E. ➜ add get/put on drm_bridge accessors
       1. ✔ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge() + add a cleanup action
       2. … drm_bridge_get_prev_bridge()
       3. … drm_bridge_get_next_bridge()
       4. ➜ drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain()
       5. drm_bridge_connector_init
       6. of_drm_find_bridge
       7. drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge, *_of_get_bridge
    F. debugfs improvements
 2. handle gracefully atomic updates during bridge removal
 3. … avoid DSI host drivers to have dangling pointers to DSI devices
 4. finish the hotplug bridge work, removing the "always-disconnected"
    connector, moving code to the core and potentially removing the
    hotplug-bridge itself (this needs to be clarified as points 1-3 are
    developed)

Most loops on the encoder bridge chain are based on
drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain(), which does not get/put the bridge pointed
to by the loop iterator.

Add a scoped variant that ensures ta reference to the bridge pointed to by
the iterator is taken/released before/after every iteration (and when
breaking out of the loop). Using the scoped version, the bridge being
iterated on will always have a reference taken during the shole
iteration. This is similar to what for_each_child_of_node() and similar
for_each_* macros do.

All conversions are trivial except for drm_bridge_connector_init() which
needs some preliminary cleanups (patches 1-2).

omapdrm/omap_encoder.c is the only driver iterating over the encoder bridge
chain starting from a specific bridge, instead of iterating over the whole
list. For this use case, add a drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain_from() variant.

This series depends on:

 * commit 103578241512 ("drm/bridge-connector: Fix bridge in
   drm_connector_hdmi_audio_init()"), currently in drm-misc-fixes, not yet
   on drm-misc-next
