I don't understand what do you mean by "hot-pluggable", panel is static.
Please either clarify more or type the patch.
Keep in mind that fix should be simple and portable because stable
kernels are wrecked.

BTW, I see now that DPAUX I2C transfer helper may access
aux->drm_device. Hence v1 patch isn't correct anyways.
For now I'll try to test more the ad-hoc variant with Thomas and send it
as v2 if we won't have a better solution.
