Subject: [PATCH 01/26] drm/bridge: add drm_of_find_bridge()

of_drm_find_bridge() does not increment the refcount for the returned
bridge, but that is required now. However converting it and all its users
is not realistically doable at once given the large amount of (direct and
indirect) callers and the complexity of some. Also, "of_drm_find_bridge is
oddly named according to our convention and it would make more sense to be
called drm_of_find_bridge()" (quoted from Link: below).

Solve both issues by creating a new drm_of_find_bridge() that is identical
to of_drm_find_bridge() except it takes a reference. Then
of_drm_find_bridge() will be deprecated to be eventually removed.

Suggested-by: Maxime Ripard <mripard@...nel.org>

Note: a simple implementation would just be
  { return drm_bridge_get(of_drm_find_bridge(np)); }
but it would release the mutex before getting the reference, so it is
not safe. Make things simple by duplicating the code. A later patch will
make instead the (to be deprecated) of_drm_find_bridge() become a wrapper
of the new drm_of_find_bridge()
