[PATCH 3/3] Revert "drm/bridge: panel: Add a device link between drm device and panel device"

[Linus Walleij]

This reverts commit 199cf07ebd2b0d41185ac79b895547d45610b681.

This patch creates bugs on devices where the DRM device is
the ancestor of the panel devices.

Attempts to fix this have failed because it leads to using
device core functionality which is questionable.
