Go ahead and insert a break when the panel is found, there is
no MCDE-attached device with more than one panel.

There *exist* the Samsung Gavini device which has a
LED panel, *and* the same lines attached to a mini-projector
so these two can be used at the same time. I have no idea
how to actually deal with that if someone one day want to
support it. Probably by putting the projector as a side thing
and not deal with the video stream in the device tree.
