As long as the error is propagated back up the chain, which it is in this
case, devres_release_all() is called and the resources are released.

Driver callchain passing up the error:
innolux_panel_driver.probe = innolux_panel_probe <- innolux_panel_add <- 
devm_of_find_backlight

This is mipi_dsi setting up the probe hook and calling into it's own 
version:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mipi_dsi.c:
int mipi_dsi_driver_register_full(struct mipi_dsi_driver *drv,
                   struct module *owner)
{
...
     if (drv->probe)
         drv->driver.probe = mipi_dsi_drv_probe;
...
}

static int mipi_dsi_drv_probe(struct device *dev)
{
     struct mipi_dsi_driver *drv = to_mipi_dsi_driver(dev->driver);
     struct mipi_dsi_device *dsi = to_mipi_dsi_device(dev);

     return drv->probe(dsi);
}

This is the device-driver core that initiates the probing:

drivers/base/dd.c
static int really_probe(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
...
     } else if (drv->probe) {
         ret = drv->probe(dev);
         if (ret)
             goto probe_failed;
     }
...
probe_failed:
...
     devres_release_all(dev);
...
}

Yes, and you can drop the variable:

         return drm_panel_add(&innolux->base);
