This is incorrect. If we always break on the first iteration we will
only run gma_backlight_init() if the first connector is LVDS or MIPI.
This might not be the case and gma_backlight_init() will never run.
The other loops you have been looking at have an "if (xxx != yyy)
continue;" statement at the top which skips all the unwanted entries
but this loop does not.
