This mess is much bigger. There's 2 pairs of bridge functions:

- drm_bridge_attach/detach. Those are meant to be called by the overall
  drm driver to connect/disconnect a drm_bridge.

- drm_bridge_add/remove. These are supposed to be called by the bridge
  driver itself to register/unregister itself. Maybe we should rename
  them, since the same issue happens with drm_panel, with the same
  confusion.

I thought someone was working on a cleanup series to fix this mess, but I
didn't find anything.
