[PATCH 06/28] drm/bridge: Improve kerneldoc

[Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>]

Especially document the assumptions and semantics of the callbacks
carefully. Just a warm-up excercise really.

v2: Spelling fixes (Eric).

v3: Consolidate more with existing docs:

- Remove the overview section explaining the bridge funcs, that's
  now all in the drm_bridge_funcs kerneldoc in much more detail.

- Use & to reference structs so that kerneldoc automatically inserts
  hyperlinks.

- * enable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge once its
- * source is enabled. In other words, enable is called once the source is
- * ready with clock and timing needed by the bridge.
- *
- * disable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge assuming
- * that its source is still enabled, i.e. clock and timings are still on.
- *
- * post_disable: this contains things needed to be done for the bridge once
- * its source is disabled, i.e. once clocks and timings are off.
- *
- * mode_fixup: this should fixup the given mode for the bridge. It is called
- * after the encoder's mode fixup. mode_fixup can also reject a mode completely
- * if it's unsuitable for the hardware.
- *
- * mode_set: this sets up the mode for the bridge. It assumes that its source
- * (an encoder or a bridge) has set the mode too.
