drm/bridge: panel: Check device dependency before managing device link

Some panel devices already depend on DRM device, like the panel in
arch/arm/boot/dts/st/ste-ux500-samsung-skomer.dts, because DRM device is
the ancestor of those panel devices.  device_link_add() would fail by
returning a NULL pointer for those panel devices because of the existing
dependency.  So, check the dependency by calling device_is_dependent()
before adding or deleting device link between panel device and DRM device
so that the link is managed only for independent panel devices.

Fixes: 8878780 ("drm/bridge: panel: Fix device link for DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR")
Fixes: 199cf07 ("drm/bridge: panel: Add a device link between drm device and panel device")
