The lifetime of the bridge is independent from the lifetime of the drm_device, 
so that won't work. It looks like we need to add a bridge cleanup operation 
:-/ You're right, it opens pandora's box.

My recommendation is to add a .release() operation to the bridge ops 
structure, and to implement a drm_bridge_cleanup() function that frees the 
bus_formats memory. Then, a drm_bridge_release() function can wrap the 
release() ops, and that should be called from the bridge driver .remove() 
handler. Or even butter, call the drm_bridge_release() function 
drm_bridge_put(), to pave the way for a reference-count-based implementation.
