This will break the logic if there is anything after the HDMI bridge.
For example, if the board has hdmi-connector (yep, it's a bridge without
DRM_BRIDGE_OP_HDMI, because HDMI connectors don't implement any of the
HDMI functionality), then the function will go to the second clause.
This probably needs to be moved to drm_bridge_connector. There is is
natural to check for bridge_connector->bridge_hdmi.
