Given panels and I2C-connected encoders are required by DRM drivers, we need to change the link order so these are probed first. This commit moves all the i2c, panel and bridge helper drivers so they are probed before the DRM drivers.

No. We don't need to change the link order. What we need to do is make sure that modules deal properly with situations where their resources aren't available yet (i.e. EPROBE_DEFER). There are factors other than link order that influence probe ordering.
