This dssdev->channel reference is something we would want to get rid of 
eventually, right?

At the point omapfb_init_connections() is called, we would have all the 
omap_dss_devices registered, right? So at this point, omapfb will have 
an overall view of how the panels need to be connected to DSS.

I think we can try to find a manager here for dssdev rather than using 
dssdev->channel directly. The dssdev's output could connect to a few 
managers. We would want to chose managers for each dssdev output in such 
a way that all outputs have a manager. I guess there would be multiple 
combinations for this, but it would be okay to pick any one of them.

I think we would need some recursive or backtracking sort of approach to 
get a desired combination. We can figure about how to make it work 
later, but do you agree if this is a right way to get rid of 
dssdev->channel?

Also, we would need to do this for omapdrm separately using it's own 
encoder/connector entities.
