I'm kinda confused. In this case there is no DRM device for the bridge
and, as per my CL description, "bridge-dev->dev" appears to be the
encoder device. I wasn't personally involved in discussions about it,
but I was under the impression that this was expected / normal. Thus
we can't make this DRM-managed.
