>     D. ✔ add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detach()
>          and warn on old allocation pattern (v6.17)
>     E. ➜ add get/put on drm_bridge accessors
>        1. ✔ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(), add cleanup action (v6.18)
>        2. ✔ drm_bridge_get_prev_bridge() (v6.18)
>        3. ✔ drm_bridge_get_next_bridge() (v6.19)

>           e. ✔ bridge-only drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() users (v7.2)
>        8. ➜ panel_bridge lifetime
>           a. ➜ cleanup DRM_PANEL in bridge drivers
> 	  b. … embed a drm_bridge in every drm_panel
>        9. ✔ enforce drm_bridge_add before drm_bridge_attach (v6.19)
>     F. ✔ debugfs improvements
