Subject: [PATCH 27/37] drm/bridge: notify about detached bridges

From: Luca Ceresoli <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 12:37:44 +0200

In preparation to support DRM bridge hotplug, let the drm_bridge code emit
an event when a bridge is detached, so that this event can trigger the
actions needed to deconfigure the pipeline and unregister the connector as
appropriate.
