I don't think we can get away without getting access to the atomic_state
=66rom the panel at least.

Choosing one setup over another is likely going to depend on the mode,
and that's only available in the state.

We don't have to go the whole way though and create the sub-classes of
drm_connector_state, but I think we should at least provide it to the
panel.

What do you think of creating a new set of atomic_* callbacks for
panels, call that new set of functions from msm and start from there?
