This patch needs to be sent to drm-devel.

The name should probably be something like drm_find_panel_by_name.

I have a slightly uneasy feeling about handing out drm_panel pointers
(both from here and of_drm_find_panel) without refcounting. If the panel
driver gets removed, whoever called the find functions will have a
dangling pointer. I supposed this will be discussed on drm-devel.

BR,
Jani.
