It's explained in the cover letter:
```
Panels usually call drm_connector_set_panel_orientation(), which is
later than drm/kms driver calling drm_dev_register(). This leads to a
WARN()[1].
```
If the get_modes() in dsi is still being called later than bind(),
then the same issue still appears.
The purpose is to set the property before drm_dev_register().
