+Remove devm_drm_put_bridge()
+----------------------------
+
+Due to how the panel bridge handles the drm_bridge object lifetime, special
+care must be taken to dispose of the drm_bridge object when the
+panel_bridge is removed. This is currently managed using
+devm_drm_put_bridge(), but that is an unsafe, temporary workaround. To fix
+that, the DRM panel lifetime needs to be reworked. After the rework is
+done, remove devm_drm_put_bridge() and the TODO in
+drm_panel_bridge_remove().
