[PATCH 3/3] drm/bridge: add warning for bridges not using devm_drm_bridge_alloc()

[Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com>]

To the best of my knowledge, all drivers in the mainline kernel adding a
DRM bridge are now converted to using devm_drm_bridge_alloc() for
allocation and initialization. Among others this ensures initialization of
the bridge refcount, allowing dynamic allocation lifetime.

devm_drm_bridge_alloc() is now mandatory for all new bridges. Code using
the old pattern ([devm_]kzalloc + filling the struct fields +
drm_bridge_add) is not allowed anymore.

Any drivers that might have been missed during the conversion, patches in
flight towards mainline and out-of-tre drivers still using the old pattern
will already be caught by a warning looking like:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 83 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x120/0x148
  [...]
  Call trace:
   refcount_warn_saturate+0x120/0x148 (P)
   drm_bridge_get.part.0+0x70/0x98 [drm]
   drm_bridge_add+0x34/0x108 [drm]
   sn65dsi83_probe+0x200/0x480 [ti_sn65dsi83]
   [...]

This warning comes from the refcount code and happens because
drm_bridge_add() is increasing the refcount, which is uninitialized and
thus initially zero.

Having a warning and the corresponding stack trace is surely useful, but
the warning text does not clarify the root problem nor how to fix it.

Add a DRM_WARN() just before increasing the refcount, so the log will be
much more readable:

  [drm] DRM bridge corrupted or not allocated by devm_drm_bridge_alloc()
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
  [...etc...]

A DRM_WARN is used because drm_warn and drm_WARN require a struct
drm_device pointer which is not yet available when adding a bridge.

Do not print the dev_name() in the warning because struct drm_bridge has no
pointer to the struct device. The affected driver should be easy to catch
based on the following stack trace however.
