Hm, not sure panel detection makes much sense, the entire idea behind
drm_panel is to hard-code a fixed/built-in panel. The only thing panels
may report through the connection status is whether the lid is closed or
not. Yes we should probably document that somewhere.

If you have a panel-that-can-be-hotplugged a drm_bridge that implemens the
drm_connector is probably the way to go.

Kerneldoc for this please. Would also be really good to switch this struct
of function pointers over to the in-line style, and put the paragraphs
relevant for a given callback into it's dedicated comment.
