The aux-bridge and aux-hpd-bridge drivers didn't call of_node_get() on
the device nodes further used for dev->of_node and platform data. When
bridge devices are released, the reference counts are decreased,
resulting in refcount underflow / use-after-free warnings. Get
corresponding refcounts during AUX bridge allocation.

Define a helper for creating simple transparent bridges which serve the
only purpose of linking devices into the bridge chain up to the last
bridge representing the connector. This is especially useful for
DP/USB-C bridge chains, which can span across several devices, but do
not require any additional functionality from the intermediate bridges.
