Really like this. It's simple and to the point, and much needed since I 
guess many vendors have come with their own custom solution to handle 
panels. Do you know if it would be possible to convert these 
implementations to use your framework instead and consolidate the code 
around it?

Eventually this might be superseeded by the CDF, but if this happens it 
should not be too hard to convert the code, and we need something to use 
panels conveniently in the meantime.

Since connector and drm both seem to only be set here, and drm can 
easily be derived from connector (connector->dev), do you need the drm 
member at all?
