[PATCH] drm/msm: Initialize mode_config earlier

Invoking drm_bridge_hpd_notify() on a drm_bridge with a HPD-enabled
bridge_connector ends up in drm_bridge_connector_hpd_cb() calling
drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event(), which assumes that the associated
drm_device's mode_config.funcs is a valid pointer.

But in the MSM DisplayPort driver the HPD enablement happens at bind
time and mode_config.funcs is initialized late in msm_drm_init(). This
means that there's a window for hot plug events to dereference a NULL
mode_config.funcs.

Move the assignment of mode_config.funcs before the bind, to avoid this
scenario.
