[PATCH v3 2/2] drm/panel: Add device_link from panel device to drm device

[Jyri Sarha]

Add device_link from panel device (supplier) to drm device (consumer)
when drm_panel_attach() is called. This patch should protect the
master drm driver if an attached panel driver unbinds while it is in
use. The device_link should make sure the drm device is unbound before
the panel driver becomes unavailable.

The device_link is removed when drm_panel_detach() is called. The
drm_panel_detach() should be called by the consumer DRM driver, not the
panel driver, otherwise both drivers are racing to delete the same link.
