This approch seems to conflict with work done by Laurent where the
ownership/creation of the connector will be moved to the display controller.

If I understand it correct then there should not be a 1:1 relation
between a panel and a connector anymore.

We should not try to work in two different directions with this.
Laurent, can you comment on this?

If we move forard with this patch, then all fields in drm_panel needs
kernel-doc - preferably inline.
