To maintain backward compatibility while removing the deprecated
tilcdc_panel driver, add a tilcdc_panel_legacy subdriver that converts
the legacy "ti,tilcdc,panel" devicetree binding to the standard
panel-dpi binding at early boot.

The conversion uses an embedded device tree overlay that is applied and
modified during subsys_initcall. The process:

- Apply embedded overlay to create a tilcdc-panel-dpi node with
  port/endpoint connections to the LCDC
- Copy all properties from the legacy panel node to the new
  tilcdc-panel-dpi node
- Copy display-timings from the legacy panel
- Convert legacy panel-info properties (invert-pxl-clk, sync-edge) to
  standard display timing properties (pixelclk-active, syncclk-active)
- Disable the legacy panel by removing its compatible property to
  prevent the deprecated driver from binding

The result is a standard tilcdc-panel-dpi node with proper endpoints and
timing properties, allowing the DRM panel infrastructure to work with
legacy devicetrees without modification.

Other legacy panel-info properties are not migrated as they consistently
use default values across all mainline devicetrees and can be hardcoded
in the tilcdc driver.

This feature is optional via CONFIG_DRM_TILCDC_PANEL_LEGACY and should
only be enabled for systems with legacy devicetrees containing
"ti,tilcdc,panel" nodes.

Using the approach of applying an overlay and then modifying the live
device tree is the solution I found that requires no modification of the
OF core. Dealing entirely with changesets would bring additional
requirements such as phandle resolution management, which is internal to
the OF framework. I intend to avoid OF core change to support this legacy
binding.

Change in v4:
- Use tab instead of space.

Change in v3:
- Use __free() macro instead of manual house cleaning.
- Enable CONFIG_DRM_TILCDC_PANEL_LEGACY config by default.
- Improve config description.
- Rename "panel-dpi" to "tilcdc-panel-dpi" to avoid any future conflict.
- Use OF changeset instead of modifying the live devicetree step by
  step.
- Add kfree to avoid memory leak.

Change in v2:
- New patch.
