[PATCH v3] drm/bridge: panel: Add a device link between drm device and panel device

From: Liu Ying
Date: Mon Aug 07 2023 - 02:06:54 EST


Add the device link when panel bridge is attached and delete the link
when panel bridge is detached. The drm device is the consumer while
the panel device is the supplier. This makes sure that the drm device
suspends eariler and resumes later than the panel device, hence resolves
problems where the order is reversed, like the problematic case mentioned
in the below link.

v2->v3:
* Improve commit message s/swapped/reversed/.

v1->v2:
* Fix bailout for panel_bridge_attach() in case device_link_add() fails.
