No, this is not the case. The __free action is executed only when
exiting the entire for loop, not a single iteration.

This is consistent with the fact that the loop variable is persistent
across iterations.

I tested this macro in both cases:

 * looping over the entire chain the final value of @bridge will be
   NULL and the cleanup action won't call drm_bridge_put()
 * breaking before the last element, @bridge is non-NULL and the
   cleanup action does call drm_bridge_put()

See examples such as for_each_child_of_node_scoped() and other OF
iterators which work in the same way (which is no coincidence, I used
them as starting point for writing this patch).

Best regards,
Luca
