Where do you think drm_bridge documentation fits? I was considering putting it under 'KMS initialization and setup', while pointing out that it isn't exactly a drm_mode_object entity like crtcs or encoders etc.
Since drm_bridge is not exposed to userspace it's not part of core drm and imo should be a helper library - it's only used by drivers internally to help them implement modesetting. New chapter under "Mode Setting Helper Functions" sounds best to me.
Btw drm_bridge being a core part of drm is another thing we probably should fix up eventually. I looked into doing that a while ago, but it wasn't quite that simple. And I don't have a good arm build-test setup, so hard to make sure I've caught all drivers and made sure they depend upon DRM_KMS_HELPER properly.
