[PATCH v5 06/15] drm/bridge: synopsys: dw-dp: Add follow-up bridge support

Add support to use USB-C connectors with the DP altmode helper code on
devicetree based platforms. To get this working there must be a DRM
bridge chain from the DisplayPort controller to the USB-C connector.
E.g. on Rockchip RK3576:

root at rk3576 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/encoder-0/bridges
bridge[0]: dw_dp_bridge_funcs
        refcount: 7
        type: [10] DP
        OF: /soc/dp at 27e40000:rockchip,rk3576-dp
        ops: [0x47] detect edid hpd
bridge[1]: drm_aux_bridge_funcs
        refcount: 4
        type: [0] Unknown
        OF: /soc/phy at 2b010000:rockchip,rk3576-usbdp-phy
        ops: [0x0]
bridge[2]: drm_aux_hpd_bridge_funcs
        refcount: 5
        type: [10] DP
        OF: /soc/i2c at 2ac50000/typec-portc at 22/connector:usb-c-connector
        ops: [0x4] hpd

It's fine to fatally error out when there is no follow-up bridge
as the Rockchip Designware Displayport controller is the only
user of the bridge helper and has the port marked as required
in its binding.
