drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain() iterates ofer the bridges in an encoder chain without protecting the lifetime of the bridges using drm_bridge_get/put(). This creates a risk window where the bridge could be freed while iterating on it. Users of drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain() cannot solve this reliably. Add variant of drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain() that gets/puts the bridge reference at the beginning/end of each iteration, and puts it if breaking ot of the loop. Note that this requires adding a new drm_bridge_get_next_bridge_and_put() function because, unlike similar functions as __of_get_next_child(), drm_bridge_get_next_bridge() gets the "next" pointer but does not put the "prev" pointer. Unfortunately drm_bridge_get_next_bridge() cannot be modified to put the "prev" pointer because some of its users rely on this, such as drm_atomic_bridge_propagate_bus_flags(). Also deprecate drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain(), in preparation for removing it after converting all users to the scoped version.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
