Using this bridge_panel thing you reverse order of hw 
initialization/de-initialization, this is incorrect.

For example:

- panel_unprepare should be called before tc35* turn off,

- panel_prepare should be called after tc35* on.

This is why I avoid the whole "bridge chaining" - it enforces ridiculous 
order of initialization.

I guess lack of calling .reset here is direct cause of WARN reported by 
Marek.


Summarizing my findings:

1. drm_panel_bridge does not fit to this scenario - it relays on 'bridge 
chaining" which has crazy assumption that order of hw initalization in 
the display chain follows the same fixed order of calls for all hw.

2. tc35* bridge allocates/deallocates connector dynamically - to safely 
handle drivers load/unload, and to avoid multiple deferred probe issues 
, drm_panel_bridge does not support it.


This and previous patch violates both points.

Andrzej
