[PATCH v7 0/2] drm/bridge: add docs and kunit test for devm_drm_bridge_alloc()

[Luca Ceresoli]

This small series adds documentation and a simple kunit test for the new
DRM bridge allocation flow, based on the recently introduced
devm_drm_bridge_alloc() [0].

This work was formerly a part of my v6 DRM bridge hotplug series [1], now
split as a standalone series, hence the "v7" version number.

The overall goal is supporting Linux devices with a DRM pipeline whose
final components can be hot-plugged and hot-unplugged, including one or
more bridges. For more details see the big picture [0].

Current plan and status of the DRM bridge refcounting work:

 A. ✔ add new alloc API and refcounting -> (now in drm-misc-next)
 B. convert all bridge drivers to new API (v1 under review [2])
 C. ➜ documentation, kunit tests (this series)
 D. after (B), add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detech()
 E. after (B), convert accessors; this is a large work and can be done
    in chunks
 F. debugfs improvements
