The driver that instantiates the bridge should own the drvdata, as all
driver model callbacks (probe, remove, shutdown, PM ops, etc.) are also
owned by its driver struct. Moreover, storing two different pointer
types in driver data depending on driver initialization status is barely
a good practice and in fact has led to many bugs in this driver.

Let's clean up this mess and change Analogix entry points to simply
accept some opaque struct pointer, adjusting their users at the same
time to avoid breaking the compilation.

This depends on previous patches of the series. I guess it would be easier
to queue this to drm-misc as a part of the eDP support series. For that:
