It always seemed weird to me that this function was asymmetric, so I
like this change, thanks!

I also remember wondering before how this function was safe, though.
The callpath for getting here from the ioctl is documented in the
function and when I look at it I wonder if anything is preventing the
bridge from being enabled / disabled through normal means at the same
time your function is running. That could cause all sorts of badness
if it is indeed possible. Does anyone reading this know if that's
indeed a problem?

I suppose that, if this is unsafe, it's no more unsafe now than it was
before your patch, so I guess:

If there are no issues, I'll plan to land this patch and the next one
to drm-misc-next sometime late-ish next week.
