[PATCH v8 0/3] drm/bridge: add kunit tests for devm_drm_bridge_alloc()

[Luca Ceresoli]

This small series adds a few kunit tests for the new DRM bridge allocation
flow, based on the recently introduced devm_drm_bridge_alloc() [0].

It is part of the work towards removal of bridges from a still existing DRM
pipeline without use-after-free.

The steps in the grand plan [1] are:

 1. ➜ add refcounting to DRM bridges (struct drm_bridge)
 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)

This series is part of step 1 of the grand plan.

Current tasks in step 1 of the grand plan:

 A. ✔ add new alloc API and refcounting -> (now in drm-misc-next)
 B. … convert all bridge drivers to new API (in progress)
 C. ➜ kunit tests (this series)
 D. after (B), add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detech()
 E. after (B), convert accessors; this is a large work and can be done
    in chunks
 F. debugfs improvements
