[PATCH v6 2/6] drm: bridge: panel: Reset the connector state pointer

[Jagan Teki <jagan@amarulasolutions.com>]

Trigger hotplug event with drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event might fail if the
connector state pointer is NULL.

BUG observed in exynos dsi driver where drm_bridge_attach is trying to register
a connector in panel_bridge before the hotplug event is triggered,

So reset the atomic state for a given connector by freeing the state pointer
and allocate a new empty state object. This can be done using connector
funcs->reset helper and has to be done before the hotplug even calls.

This patch calls the connector->funcs->reset in panel_bridge_attach.
