Move the bridge pre_enable call before crtc enable, and the bridge
post_disable call after the crtc disable.

The sequence of enable after this patch will look like:

bridge[n]_pre_enable
...
bridge[1]_pre_enable

crtc_enable
encoder_enable

bridge[1]_enable
...
bridge[n]_enable

And, the disable sequence for the display pipeline will look like:

bridge[n]_disable
...
bridge[1]_disable

encoder_disable
crtc_disable

bridge[1]_post_disable
...
bridge[n]_post_disable

The definition of bridge pre_enable hook says that,
"The display pipe (i.e. clocks and timing signals) feeding this bridge
will not yet be running when this callback is called".

Since CRTC is also a source feeding the bridge, it should not be enabled
before the bridges in the pipeline are pre_enabled. Fix that by
re-ordering the sequence of bridge pre_enable and bridge post_disable.
