Is it safe for a bridge driver to enable power to other devices in the
bridge? Seems somewhat counter-intuitive, though I understand that the
complete chain needs to be enabled before getting EDID in this case.
Can we consider a more generic solution where the DRM stack enables the
bridge-chain before invoking calls to get EDID based on a DT-binding or
Kconfig option?

Also shouldn't the call to pre_enable be followed by a call to
"drm_bridge_chain_enable"? Similarly we should do both
drm_bridge_chain_post_disable / *_disable when
powering the chips off, right?
