True, If I remember we have bridges earlier to find the downstream
bridge/panels from the bridge ops and attach the hook, if that is the
case maybe we can use this DRM-managed action as we can get the
drm_device pointer from the bridge pointer. So, what is the best we
can do here, add any TODO comment to follow up the same in the future
or something else, please let me know?
