drm/bridge: panel: forbid initializing a panel with unknown connector type

[ 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.
