struct device contains both because it is at the root of the hierarchy
and it should support both API. drm_bridge is a consumer, so it's fine
to have just one.

Well, you picked up the task ;-)

But really, there is nothing so hard about it:
- Change of_node to fw_node, apply an automatic patch changing this in
bridge drivers.
- Make drm_of_bridge functions convert passed of_node and comp

After this we can start cleaning up bridge drivers to use fw_node API
natively as you did in your patches 2-4.
