The addition above of drm_bridge_remove() to tda998x_destroy() means
that we end up calling this function in the error cleanup path.  This
avoids unnecessary complexity with lots of different gotos - tda998x
has had a long history of not cleaning up stuff properly.

devm interfaces for bridge do not help avoid that - devm stuff only
works if everything that is registered previously is cleaned up via
devm mechanisms to ensure that a device's interface becomes unavailable
before stuff (eg, edid timers, detect work) is started to be cleaned up.
Otherwise, there's a chance of this stuff being triggered during
tear-down.

It's not clear to me what "It" is - I think you're suggesting combining
tda998x_create() and tda998x_encoder_init() ?

The code is structured this way to make the following patches easier -
there is no point of combining things only to have to then break them
apart again in a later patch.  Please see patch 7, where tda998x_create()
moves out of this function, where exactly this happens.

Is it guaranteed that a bridge ->enable or ->disable callback won't be
called twice, even for legacy drivers?  I think atomic guarantees this
but I don't think it's guaranteed for legacy drivers.

I'm guessing Rob had a reason why he added the check when he originally
created the driver (encoder ->dpms can be called for the same dpms
state multiple times?)
