    drm/i915: move panel connectors to the front
    
    This essentially reverts

        drm/i915: Initialize LVDS and eDP outputs before anything else
    
    simply because it doesn't scale: It misses SDVO and DVO panels,
    and now with DDI encoders on haswell this is becoming unmanageable.
    
    Instead we simply sort the connector list after everything is
    set up.
