phy: rockchip: phy-rockchip-typec: Add DRM AUX bridge

This commit uses the DRM_AUX_BRIDGE helper to create a transparent DRM
bridge device for the display port on Rockchip Type-C PHYs.

[Severity: High]
Does this code need to call of_node_get(child_np) before passing it to
drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node()?

The iterator macro for_each_available_child_of_node() holds a reference
during the loop that it automatically drops when advancing. However, the
auxiliary device created by drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node() will
unconditionally call of_node_put() in its release function.

If we don't increment the reference count here, couldn't this result in a
refcount underflow and use-after-free when the bridge is unregistered or
destroyed?
