Subject: [PATCH v8 2/3] drm/debugfs: show removed bridges

The usefulness of /sys/kernel/debug/dri/bridges is limited as it only shows
bridges between drm_bridge_add() and drm_bridge_remove(). However
refcounted bridges can stay allocated for a long time after
drm_bridge_remove(), and a memory leak due to a missing drm_bridge_put()
would not be visible in this debugfs file.

Add removed bridges to the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/bridges output.

Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@...tlin.com>

Changes in v8:
- updated to rename bridge_removed_list -> bridge_lingering_list

Changes in v7:
- rebased on current code which is in drm_bridge.c now
- removed if (drm_bridge_is_refcounted(bridge)), refcounting is not
  optional
- don't show bridge address
- improve commit message

This patch was added in v6.
