So rather than storing the drm_panel, I suggest that you actually wrap
it with a "panel_bridge". Follow the ideas from commit 4e5763f03e10
("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Wrap panel with panel-bridge") and the fix
in commit c7782443a889 ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Avoid creating
multiple connectors").

If you do that then actually a bunch of your patch becomes
unnecessary. You basically just have to attach the "next" bridge in
the right place and you're good, right?
