Currently driver is checking for desc == &panel_dpi to do the DPI
specific panel desc allocations. This looks hacky.

The panel allocation in panel_simple_probe() breaks due to not having
the desc for DPI scenario. This patch does the following:

- Rename panel_dpi_probe() to panel_dpi_get_desc() and call it before
panel allocation. panel_dpi_get_desc() returns a panel desc unlike
panel_dpi_probe() which returned an int. This way driver has a known
connector type while allocating the panel.
- panel_dpi_get_desc() returns a panel desc
- Add a simple helper is_panel_dpi() to identify a simple DPI panel from
a simple panel based on .compatible field
