Subject: drm/panel/panel-simple v6.16-rc1 WARNING regression

Hello all,

Commit de04bb0089a9 ("drm/panel/panel-simple: Use the new allocation in place of devm_kzalloc()")
from 6.16-rc1 introduced a regression with this warning during probe
with panel dpi described in the DT.

A revert solves the issue.

The issue is that connector_type is set to DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_DPI in
panel_dpi_probe() that after that change is called after
devm_drm_panel_alloc().

I am not sure if there are other implication for this change in the call
ordering, apart the one that triggers this warning.
