Currently, the DSI host blocks binding the display pipeline until the
panel is available. This unnecessarily prevents other display outpus
from working, and adds logspam to dmesg when the panel driver is built
as a module (the component master is unsuccessfully brought up several
times during boot).
Flip the dependency, instead requiring the host to be bound before the
panel is attached. The panel driver provides no functionality outside of
the display pipeline anyway.
Since the panel is now probed after the DRM connector, we need a hotplug
event to turn on the connector after the panel is attached.
This has the added benefit of fixing panel module removal/insertion.
Previously, the panel would be turned off when its module was removed.
But because the connector state was hardcoded, nothing knew to turn the
panel back on when it was re-attached. Now, with hotplug events
available, the connector state will follow the panel module state, and
the panel will be re-enabled properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
