Atm we set the parent of the dp i2c device to be the correspondig
connector device. During driver cleanup we first remove the connector
device through intel_modeset_cleanup()->drm_sysfs_connector_remove() and
only after that the i2c device through the encoder's destroy callback.
This order is not supported by the device core and we'll get a warning,
see the below bugzilla ticket. The proper order is to remove first any
child device and only then the parent device.
The first part of the fix changes the i2c device's parent to be the drm
device. Its logical owner is not the connector anyway, but the encoder.
Since the encoder doesn't have a device object, the next best choice is
the drm device. This is the same what we do in the case of the sdvo i2c
device and what the nouveau driver does.
The second part creates a symlink in the connector's sysfs directory
pointing to the i2c device. This is so, that we keep the current ABI,
which also makes sense in case someone wants to look up the i2c device
belonging to a specific connector.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
