Ah, oops! Sure, I'll plan on a v2 with this but I'll wait for more feedback.

OK. I will likely be able to take a look next week. Given that I'm
helping Philip bringup a board with ps8640 it looks like your patch
series will be quite relevant! I guess it would be good to figure out
what would be the best order to land them. In my case we need this fix
to be easy to pick back to fix the behavior on the Chrome OS 5.4 tree.
My fix is easy to pick back, but perhaps yours is as well. Of course
we could also just make a local divergent change in our tree if need
be, too.

Yeah, I debated this too. I was trying to match
drm_bridge_chain_disable() and in my mind keeping the two functions
matching is more important than keeping this patch small. Certainly I
could add another patch in the series to rename "bridge" to
"last_bridge" and "iter" to "bridge" in that function, but that
defeats the goal of reducing churn... ...and clearly whoever wrote
drm_bridge_chain_disable() liked "iter" better. :-P
In any case, I'll change it as you say if everyone likes it better,
but otherwise I'll leave it as I have it.

It's because you can start at something that's not the first bridge in
the chain. See commit bab5cca7e609 ("drm/bridge: Fix the stop
condition of drm_bridge_chain_pre_enable()")
