Initially, I was using a get_bridges() method to create the list of bridges
before each reconfiguration. However, this required having a "duplicated"
list of bridges in the context of the fake region low-level driver.

Since I couldn't find a reason to keep a duplicate list of bridges in the
fake region driver, I decided then to change the approach and build the
list of bridges at device instantiation time.

In my understanding, the approach of creating the list of bridges just
before reconfiguration with a get_bridges() method works best for the
OF case, where the topology is already encoded in the DT. I feel using
this approach on platforms without OF support would increase complexity
and create unnecessary duplication.
