The impleimentation of ps8640_bridge_poweron() versus
ps8640_bridge_poweroff() is confusing.

ps8640_bridge_poweron() includes ps8640_bridge_vdo_control(.., ENABLE),
but ps8640_bridge_poweroff() does not include
ps8640_bridge_vdo_control(..., DISABLE).

This is inconsistent and confusing. At least it was for me when
reviewing. Can this be improved - or maybe just use naming that does not
indicate they are the reverse of each other?

The use of drm_bridge_chain_pre_enable() and
drm_bridge_chain_post_disable() was exactly what I was asking for -
looks good.

I have not really considered the idea from Balil that we should provide
better infrastructure support powering on the bridge chain when reading
the edid. Maybe an idea for later?
