[PATCH v2 00/12] drm/bridge: Kconfig: cleanup DRM_PANEL usage

[Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com>]

As a cleanup in preparation for making every drm_panel create a
panel_bridge, remove unnecessary or wrong usage of 'depends on DRM_PANEL'
and 'select DRM_PANEL' from drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/Kconfig.

== Grand plan

This is part of the work to support hotplug of DRM bridges. The grand plan
was discussed in [0].

Here's the work breakdown (➜ marks the current series):

 1. ➜ add refcounting to DRM bridges struct drm_bridge,
      based on devm_drm_bridge_alloc()
    A. ✔ add new alloc API and refcounting (v6.16)
    B. ✔ convert all bridge drivers to new API (v6.17)
    C. ✔ kunit tests (v6.17)
    D. ✔ add get/put to drm_bridge_add/remove() + attach/detach()
         and warn on old allocation pattern (v6.17)
    E. ➜ add get/put on drm_bridge accessors
       1. ✔ drm_bridge_chain_get_first_bridge(), add cleanup action (v6.18)
       2. ✔ drm_bridge_get_prev_bridge() (v6.18)
       3. ✔ drm_bridge_get_next_bridge() (v6.19)
       4. ✔ drm_for_each_bridge_in_chain() (v6.19)
       5. ✔ drm_bridge_connector_init (v6.19)
       6. ✔ protect encoder bridge chain with a mutex (v7.2)
       7. ✔ of_drm_find_bridge
          a. ✔ add of_drm_get_bridge() (v7.0),
               convert basic direct users (v7.0-v7.1)
          b. ✔ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 2 (v7.0)
          c. ✔ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 3 (v7.0)
          d. ✔ convert direct of_drm_get_bridge() users, part 4 (v7.1-v7.2)
          e. ✔ bridge-only drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge() users (v7.2)
       8. ➜ panel_bridge lifetime
          a. ➜ cleanup DRM_PANEL in bridge drivers
	  b.   add a panel_bridge to every panel
       9. ✔ enforce drm_bridge_add before drm_bridge_attach (v6.19)
    F. ✔ debugfs improvements
       1. ✔ add top-level 'bridges' file (v6.16)
       2. ✔ show refcount and list lingering bridges (v6.19)
 2. ✔ handle gracefully atomic updates during bridge removal
    A. ✔ Add drm_bridge_enter/exit() to protect device resources (v7.0)
    B. ✔ Add drm_bridge_clear_and_put() (v7.1)
 3. … DSI host-device driver interaction
 4. ✔ removing the need for the "always-disconnected" connector
 5. ✔ Migrate i.MX LCDIF driver to bridge-connector (v7.2)
 6. … DRM bridge hotplug
    A. … Bridge hotplug management in the DRM core
       1. ✔ bridge-connector: attach encoder to the connector (v7.2)
       2. … drm bridge hotplug
    B.   Device tree description
