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.

Signed-off-by: Ludovic Desroches ludovic.desroches@microchip.com Fixes: de04bb0089a9 ("drm/panel/panel-simple: Use the new allocation in place of devm_kzalloc()") --- Changes in v2: - Fix a warning introduced by the code move. There is no need to jump to free_ddc, we can directly return from the function. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-lcd_panel_connector_type_fix-v1-1-fdbbef3... --- drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c | 89 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-)
