Let me quote my message from v1 review:

Please move this call to the msm_drm_init(). Calling this function 
somewhere after the ->kms_init() would make sure that all panel 
connectors are close to the top of the list, whichever MDP/DPU driver is 
used and whichever actual interface is bound to this panel.
