It seems a bit strange to unlock the mutex just before the 
drm_bridge_get, is it expected?

If no, I think you can use scoped_guard(mutex, &bridge_lock) to avoid 
messing with mutex_unlock, IIRC, scoped_guard will unlock the mutex just 
after the return, so in your case, just after the drm_bridge_get.
