I agree there should be a small number of APIs for the foreseeable
future (and any number of, hopefully decreasing-at-some-point,
deprecated ones).

And I agree this one ^ and the devm_drm_of_get_bridge() below are
equivalent, despite having different signatures, and so one should
disappear.

So, time to think about what APIs we want. Some thoughts of mine:

 * I prefer "get" over "find", looks more intuitive as these functions
   will drm_bridge_get()
 * Is there a logic between of_drm_ and drm_of_? Just "the former is
   old and deprecated"?
 * Since getting bridges via the endpoint is the preferred way, I'd
   like this function to have a shorter name than its variants
 * Returning a struct drm_bridge err_ptr looks better to me than
   returning an error and the bridge via a ptr-to-ptr, especially as we
   don't have anymore the case of returning a panel or a bridge from
   the same function

So, bottom line, we'd have:

 - struct drm_bridge *drm_of_get_bridge(np, port, endpoint)
 - struct drm_bridge *drm_of_get_bridge_by_node(bridge_np)
 - devm_ and drmm_ variants of the above

or a subset of these, in case some is not needed.

What are your opinions?
