Some panel devices already depend on DRM device, like the panel in arch/arm/boot/dts/st/ste-ux500-samsung-skomer.dts, because DRM device is the ancestor of those panel devices. device_link_add() would fail by returning a NULL pointer for those panel devices because of the existing dependency. So, check the dependency by calling device_is_dependent() before adding or deleting device link between panel device and DRM device so that the link is managed only for independent panel devices.
