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().

Switch to devm_mipi_dsi_attach() so mipi_dsi_detach() is handled
automatically on unbind and tdo_tl070wsh30_panel_remove() no longer
needs the manual call. It still returns directly on failure without
touching panel_list, so drm_panel_remove() stays on that path.

Changes in v2:
- Switch to devm_mipi_dsi_attach(), as suggested by Neil. Drop the
  now-redundant mipi_dsi_detach() call from remove().
- Keep drm_panel_remove() on the attach failure path, since
  devm_mipi_dsi_attach() doesn't touch panel_list on its own.
