Are we sure that pre_enable is always good enough to get the EDID? I
know that we only have support for ps8640 on the MT8173 SoC which works
only with pre_enable, but I think a more scalable solution would be to
call drm_bridge_chain_pre_enable / drm_bridge_chain_enable here, and
drm_bridge_chain_post_disable / drm_bridge_chain_disable when disabling
the chain. If this is not a concern and we are sure that pre_enable
will always work (especially on newer boards), then please ignore my
comment.

Other than this, everything looks fine.
