Marek Szyprowski 48f05c3b4b drm/bridge: analogix_dp: Use devm_drm_bridge_alloc() API
devm_drm_bridge_alloc() is the new API to be used for allocating
(and partially initializing) a private driver struct embedding
a struct drm_bridge.

Analogix DP driver somehow missed the automated conversion in commit
9c399719cf ("drm: convert many bridge drivers from devm_kzalloc() to
devm_drm_bridge_alloc() API"), what causes the following warning:

Fix this by switching the driver to the new API.

Note the above warning only appears starting with commit a7748dd127
("drm/bridge: get/put the bridge reference in drm_bridge_add/remove()")
which is the first commmit having added a drm_bridge_get/put() pair and
thus exposing the incorrect initial refcount issue.

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.
