It's not enough that the adapter is half-baked, because the bridge's
initialization depends on that the panel device is done probing, and the
panel driver will only complete its probe if it can find it's resources.
So we need a mechanism to fully create the resources exposed by the
bridge chip (i2c bus, gpio chip and (soon) a pwm chip), then allow the
panel to probe and after that initialize the bridge.
We did discuss possible ways to register these resources and then
"sleep for a while" before resolving the panel, but what we came up with
was definitely suboptimal - and ugly.
