Now that component has docs it's worth spending a few words and
hyperlinks on recommended best practices in drm.
v2: Add another item that component shouldn't be preferred over
drm_bridge/panel and similar subsystems already providing specialized
support for specific components (Laurent). Also convert to bullet
list.

While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.
But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...
Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.
v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.
v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.
v4: Remove a few superflous "This".
