If we remove it after kernel starts, that issue is there even today 
without that change because DSI is not a hot-pluggable display so a 
teardown wont happen when you plug out the panel. How will cfg->dsc be 0 
then? In that case, its not a valid test as there was no indication to 
DRM that display was disconnected so we cannot tear it down.
