The omapdrm driver requires omapdss panel drivers to expose ops like detect,
set_timings and check_timings. These can be NULL for fixed panel DPI, DBI, DSI
and SDI drivers. At some places, there are no checks to see if the panel driver
has these ops or not, and that leads to a crash.

The following things are done to make fixed panels work:

- The omap_connector's detect function is modified such that it considers panel
   types which are generally fixed panels as always connected(provided the panel
   driver doesn't have a detect op). Hence, the connector corresponding to these
   panels is always in a 'connected' state.

- If a panel driver doesn't have a check_timings op, assume that it supports the
   mode passed to omap_connector_mode_valid(the 'mode_valid' drm helper function)

- The function omap_encoder_update shouldn't really do anything for fixed
   resolution panels, make sure that it calls set_timings only if the panel
   driver has one.

I tested this with picodlp on a OMAP4 sdp board. I couldn't get any other
working boards with fixed DPI panels. I could try the DSI video mode panel
on an OMAP5 sevm, but that will require me to patch a lot of things to get
omap5 dss work with DT. I can try if needed.

hmm, why not just have a default detect fxn for panel drivers which
always returns true?  Seems a bit cleaner.. otherwise, I guess we
could just change omap_connector so that if dssdev->detect is null,
assume always connected.  Seems maybe a slightly better way since
currently omap_connector doesn't really know too much about different
sorts of panels.  But I'm not too picky if that is a big pain because
we probably end up changing all this as CFP starts coming into
existence.

Same goes for check_timings/set_timings..  it seems a bit cleaner just
to have default fxns in the panel drivers that do-the-right-thing,
although I suppose it might be a bit more convenient for out-of-tree
panel drivers to just assume fixed panel if these fxns are null.

Maybe having default functions in omapdss might be a better idea. There is an option of adding default functions in omap_dss_register_driver() (drivers/video/omap2/dss/core.c).

Tomi, do you think it's fine to add some more default panel driver funcs?
