[PATCH v7 06/11] drm/bridge: get the bridge returned by drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge()

[Luca Ceresoli]

drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge() returns a bridge pointer that the
caller could hold for a long time. Increment the refcount of the returned
bridge and document it must be put by the caller.
