Subject: [PATCH 0/5] drm/panel: Panel Refcounting infrastructure
This series adds the infrastructure needed for the refcounting
allocations for panels similar to Luca's efforts with bridges.
Underlying intention and idea is the same - avoid use-after-free
situations in panels. Get reference to panel when in use and put
the reference back (down) when not in use.
Once this gets approved, rest of the drivers will have to be
mass converted to use this API. All the callers of of_drm_find_panel()
will have to be converted too.
Tried to split the patches as suggested in the RFC series[1].
Also fixed the connector used during panel_init to be the one
passed by driver.
Patch 4 was not suggested or part of my initial work. Added it
after looking at the comments Luca's v8 of the bridge series
received.[2]
