Luca Ceresoli b3f13e00a8 drm/bridge: make devm_drm_bridge_alloc() mandatory for bridge allocation ...

All DRM bridges are now supposed to be allocated using
devm_drm_bridge_alloc(), which is cleaner and necessary to support
refcounting.

In the absence of a drm_bridge_init() or such initialization function,
document the new mandatory alloc function on the first DRM bridge core
function that is called after allocation, i.e. drm_bridge_add().
