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().
