drivers are supposed to use drm_panel_init() to set up panel-func,
so that would be a good time to verify that preconditions are met.
But as we have no control if any drivers does wrong things later
the checks for consistency still makes sense.
I have a few other small changes pending and will include checks
in drm_panel_init().
Thanks,
Sam
