I don't understand. If you don't make bridge a pointer, but rather embed
it within the structure, then you can use container_of(), can't you? You
get it allocated automatically as part of allocating the dw_mipi_dsi
structure. See for example the ps8622 and ptn3460 bridge drivers.

On a slightly unrelated note, I'm not sure if we discussed this already
or if it was in another thread, but why is this even a bridge driver? A
bridge is typically some IC outside of the SoC, whereas this clearly is
IP designed into the SoC. So it's really more of an encoder rather than
a bridge.
