Hey Sam,
Thanks for the patchset, this will make dmesg grepping easier! One comment, and
you're going to hate me for it: Why use DRM_DEV* instead of DRM_*?

When I introduced DRM_DEV, it was to cover the case where there are multiple
instances of the same driver (ie: dual-channel mipi, multiple crtcs, etc). I
suppose that _could_ happen in the panel space, but it seems more unlikely than
not.

It's quite possible I'm overthinking this, but just something I figured I would
point out. Either way, I think this is an improvement over dev_*.
