that is what I meant. bridge.container holds the same information and
bridge.private_data is not used in the rk3066_hdmi driver at all.

So if some future function needs to access the struct rk3066_hdmi it can
do so via the container field.

that's exactly wat I meant. As they are attached already in the common
function, there is no need to do it _again_ in rk3066_hdmi_register()

So both should be dropped.
