Yes. That is what is causing the crash.

That's one possible solution I thought of, but then the devm_ prefix
no longer makes sense. Also the panel_bridge is still implicitly created,
and we might as well move that to the panel side.

I would prefer to not do that, since that only fixes the issue for
MediaTek, while we have some 30 odd users of devm_drm_of_get_bridge().

That's also one way; it's just messy.
