Luca Ceresoli 100cf2fa01 drm/bridge: panel: forbid initializing a panel with unknown connector type
[ Upstream commit b296955b3a740ecc8b3b08e34fd64f1ceabb8fb4 ]

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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
