Why does DP driver have FIMD driver dependency? Also for this, it needs
FIMD driver is probed earlier then DP driver.  We cannot decide driver
probe order if they are same level drivers and itself is weird
condition.  Although there is hardware dependency, DP and FIMD driver
don't have any code relations. They are each other drivers. But DP
needs FIMD pixel clock and because the clock can be control at the
several drivers and the clock framework exists for that, then i think
it's better DP driver also control FIMD pixel clock.

I think this is not solution. How do you ensure FIMD driver is probed
earlier than DP driver? Even if it's possible, when FIMD driver only
controls pixel clock, DP driver will execute any operations regardless
status of FIMD pixel clock, so if FIMD driver turns off pixel clock,
then DP will occur any error.
