I think one of the problems comes from the fact that the panel only
gets probed (and even the panel-device created) after the dsi host bus
gets created in __dw_mipi_dsi_probe.


In hindsight, I think this is more of a concurrency issue between the
panel probing and calling dsi-attach and the dsi-controller looking for
the panel vs. panel-bridge.

So when I'm using drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() as indicator of the
panel being, it probably makes things racy. I'll try to find a better
solution for the issue.
