What data do you have in the ACPI tables to associate the HID
touchscreen to the panel?

drm_panel_add_follower use the DT to lookup the panel, so the panel must
have a device->of_node pointer, so that obviously won't work, but it
might with ACPI, or we might need to split that function into several
parts to accomodate ACPI.
