[ Upstream commit b296955b3a740ecc8b3b08e34fd64f1ceabb8fb4 ]
Having an DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown connector type is considered bad, and drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() and derivatives are deprecated for this.
drm_panel_init() won't prevent initializing a panel with a DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown connector type. Luckily there are no in-tree users doing it, so take this as an opportinuty to document a valid connector type must be passed.
Returning an error if this rule is violated is not possible because drm_panel_init() is a void function. Add at least a warning to make any violations noticeable, especially to non-upstream drivers.
