Good point. The creation of the cec platform device should probably
be moved to dw_hdmi_bridge_attach.

Same solution: this has to be moved.

I have hardware to test patches for both drivers. It might take 2-3 weeks
before I can test as I don't always has access to the hardware, but at
least I can verify that moving this code won't break anything.

It's best to first move the code in separate patches before applying the
"expose HDMI connector to CEC dev mapping" patch on top of them.
