Revert "drm/panel: Add device_link from panel device to DRM device"
This reverts commit 0c08754b. commit 0c08754b ("drm/panel: Add device_link from panel device to DRM device") creates a circular dependency under these circumstances: 1. The panel depends on dsi-host because it is MIPI-DSI child device. 2. dsi-host depends on the drm parent device (connector->dev->dev) this should be allowed. 3. drm parent dev (connector->dev->dev) depends on the panel after this patch. This makes the dependency circular and while it appears it does not affect any in-tree drivers (they do not seem to have dsi hosts depending on the same parent device) this does not seem right. As noted in a response from Andrzej Hajda, the intent is likely to make the panel dependent on the DRM device (connector->dev) not its parent. But we have no way of doing that since the DRM device doesn't contain any struct device on its own (arguably it should). Revert this until a proper approach is figured out.
