This will make omapfb probe defer till the time every panel has a 
driver. It's possible that all the panel driver modules are never 
interested by userspace. This will lead to the panels having drivers 
also not work.

I think Tomi was working on this, it was something like making omapfb 
defer only if the default display doesn't have a driver. We can wait for 
his comment.
