This is the new API for allocating DRM bridges. The devm lifetime management of this driver is peculiar. The underlying device for the panel_bridge is the panel, and the devm lifetime is tied the panel device (panel->dev). However the panel_bridge allocation is not performed by the panel driver, but rather by a separate entity (typically the previous bridge in the encoder chain). Thus when that separate entity is destroyed, the panel_bridge is not removed automatically by devm, so it is rather done explicitly by calling drm_panel_bridge_remove(). This is the function that does devm_kfree() the panel_bridge in current code, so update it as well to put the bridge reference instead. This is a temporary solution until the panel lifetime is reworked, which should make this workaround unnecessary, so add a comment to clarify that.
