[PATCH v3 1/4] drm/panel: Add new helpers for refcounted panel allocatons

[Anusha Srivatsa <asrivats@redhat.com>]

Introduce reference counted allocations for panels to avoid
use-after-free. The patch adds the macro devm_drm_bridge_alloc()
to allocate a new refcounted panel. Followed the documentation for
drmm_encoder_alloc() and devm_drm_dev_alloc and other similar
implementations for this purpose.

v3: Remove include. Fix typos. Code style corrections (Luca)
- Move the documentation to the main helper instead of in returns
  (Maxime)

v2: Better documentation for connector_type field - follow drm_panel_init
documentation. (Luca)
- Clarify the refcount initialisation in comments.(Maxime)
- Correct the documentation of the return type (Maxime)
