There is kernel crashed due to unable to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference of dp_panel->connector while running DP link
layer compliance test case 4.2.2.6 (EDID Corruption Detection).
Can you explain how we get into that situation? Like

"We never assign struct dp_panel::connector, instead the connector is
stored in struct msm_dp::connector. When we run compliance testing test
case 4.2.2.6 dp_panel_handle_sink_request() won't have a valid edid set
in struct dp_panel::edid so we'll try to use the connectors
real_edid_checksum and hit a NULL pointer deref error because the
connector pointer is never assigned."

This patch fixes this problem by populating connector of dp_panel.

This sort of stuff isn't really useful because it takes quite a few
lines to say "We hit a NULL pointer deref" which was already stated. I'd
rather have a clear description of what goes wrong and how setting the
pointer in msm_dp_modeset_init() fixes it.

Changes in V2:
-- populate panel connector at msm_dp_modeset_init() instead of at dp_panel_read_sink_caps()

This is the one line that matters I think? Can we reach the connector
for the dp device without going through the panel in
dp_panel_handle_sink_request()? That would reduce the number of struct
elements if possible.
I tried, but very difficulty. It will take more text section space.

+       priv->connectors[priv->num_connectors++] = dp->connector;
Can we not rename all the local variables in this patch and do it later
or never? Reading this patch takes a long time because we have to make
sure nothing has actually changed with the rename of 'dp_display' to
'dp'.
