Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/sun4i: tcon: fix check of tcon->panel null pointer

At the moment, the check of tcon->panel to be valid is wrong. IS_ERR()
has been used, but that macro doesn't check if tcon->panel pointer is
null or not, but check if tcon->panel is between -1 and -4095(MAX_ERRNO).

Remove IS_ERR() from tcon->panel checking and let "if (tcon->panel)" as
condition to check if it's a pointer not null.
