Having an DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown connector type is considered bad, and
drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() and derivatives are deprecated for this.
drm_panel_init() won't prevent initializing a panel with a
DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown connector type. Luckily there are no in-tree
users doing it, so take this as an opportinuty to document a valid
connector type must be passed.
Returning an error if this rule is violated is not possible because
drm_panel_init() is a void function. Add at least a warning to make any
violations noticeable, especially to non-upstream drivers.

Changed in v7:
- fix typo in commit message
- rebased on v6 (applies to drm_panel, not bridge/panel.c)
This patch was added in v6.
