I'm much better at answering questions than brain-dumping, but I'm trying.

In set_vga_bridge_bits(), the code finds the VGA device and then walks back
to the root, setting the bridge_ctrl bits along the way. When the
enable_resources() or init() function gets called, device-specific code can
then do what it needs to with that information to make it work.
