Hm, indeed. Tbh I vote to rename drm_panel->drm to ->dev and like with
drm_crtc drop the struct device and go directly to a struct
device_node. Since we don't really need the sturct device, the only
thing we care about is the of_node. For added bonus wrap an #ifdef
CONFIG_OF around all the various struct device_node in drm_foo.h.
Should be all fairly simple to pull off with cocci.

Thierry?
