Subject: [PATCH] drm/bridge: synopsys: dw-dp: Check return value of devm_drm_bridge_add() in dw_dp_bind()

Return the value of devm_drm_bridge_add() in order to propagate the
error properly, if it fails due to resource allocation failure or bridge
registration failure.

This ensures that the bind function fails safely rather than proceeding
with a potentially incomplete bridge setup.
