drm/bridge: Improve kerneldoc
Especially document the assumptions and semantics of the callbacks
carefully. Just a warm-up excercise really.
v2: Spelling fixes (Eric).
v3: Consolidate more with existing docs:
- Remove the overview section explaining the bridge funcs, that's
now all in the drm_bridge_funcs kerneldoc in much more detail.
- Use & to reference structs so that kerneldoc automatically inserts
hyperlinks.
v4: Review from Thierry.
