Good point.

Another option, if we wanted to avoid duplicating the drm_plane_funcs,
would be to add a field to drm_plane to indicate whether the plane is
suitable for drm_panic.

I don't think this patch should be blocked just for this reason, but I'm
a bit bothered by duplicating the ops structure to indicate drm_panic
support.
