The switch from devm_kzalloc() + drm_panel_init() to devm_drm_panel_alloc() introduced a regression.
Several panel descriptors do not set connector_type. For those panels, panel_simple_probe() used to compute a connector type (currently DPI as a fallback) and pass that value to drm_panel_init(). After the conversion to devm_drm_panel_alloc(), the call unconditionally used desc->connector_type instead, ignoring the computed fallback and potentially passing DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown, which drm_panel_bridge_add() does not allow.
Move the connector_type validation / fallback logic before the devm_drm_panel_alloc() call and pass the computed connector_type to devm_drm_panel_alloc(), so panels without an explicit connector_type once again get the DPI default.

I am not sure whether this regression has already been reported or addressed. If it has, please feel free to drop this patch. --- drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c | 86 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-)
