PATCH 1/1 drm/panel: tdo-tl070wsh30: Remove panel on attach failure

tdo_tl070wsh30_panel_add() calls drm_panel_add() to link the panel into the global panel_list before tdo_tl070wsh30_panel_probe() calls mipi_dsi_attach(). The panel object itself is allocated with devm_drm_panel_alloc(), which only arranges for an automatic drm_panel_put() (via devm_add_action_or_reset()) when the DSI device is torn down; unlike devm_drm_panel_add(), it does not call drm_panel_remove() for you.

If mipi_dsi_attach() fails, probe() returns the error directly:

	return mipi_dsi_attach(dsi);

Once probe() returns an error, the driver core releases devres resources for the device, which drops the allocation's own reference. But drm_panel_add() had already taken its own reference and linked panel->list into the global panel_list, and nothing undoes that. The panel is left registered in panel_list pointing at a device that failed to bind, where it can still be found and dereferenced by later lookups/iterations such as of_drm_find_panel() or find_panel_by_fwnode().

Call drm_panel_remove() when mipi_dsi_attach() fails, mirroring what tdo_tl070wsh30_panel_remove() already does on the normal teardown path, and matching the pattern used by other MIPI-DSI panel drivers that pair a manual drm_panel_add() with mipi_dsi_attach().

Fixes cf40c6600592 ("drm: panel: add TDO tl070wsh30 panel driver")
