Yes, we should only have 1 drm_panel in the global panel list.
Shouldn't it be possible to modify the dsi driver such that dsi1
doesn't care whether it has a drm_panel for it or not, if we are
in dual dsi mode?

I imagine a sequence like this:

1. dsi0 probes, parses the of-graph, finds the panel and saves its device
node.

2. dsi1 probes, parses the of-graph, find the panel's device node
- dsi1 checks if it is the same as the panel attached to dsi0.
- If so, it just takes the drm_panel pointer from dsi0.
- If not, it tries a of_drm_find_panel() on the panel's device node.

A dual DSI panel driver would also be a bit different. It will be a
mipi_dsi_driver with the master DSI (dsi0) as the mipi_dsi_device. Using
the of-graph helpers, we would get the device node of dsi1 using
of_find_mipi_dsi_host_by_node(), and create another DSI device using
mipi_dsi_device_register_full(). Then, we call mipi_dsi_attach() on
both the dsi devices.

This method will add a new binding similar to "nvidia,ganged-mode", which
is something we don't want to do.
