Subject: drm/imx: parallel-display: Accept drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge failure

From: Philipp Zabel <[email protected]>

commit 799ee2970485dc206c3bf347d6e6827c04d5e4f9 upstream.

The parallel panel driver should continue to work without having an endpoint linking to an panel in DT for backwards compatibility. With the recent switch to drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge, an absent panel results in a failure with -ENODEV error return code. To restore the old behaviour, ignore the -ENODEV return code.

Fixes ebc944613567 ("drm: convert drivers to use drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge")
