The compatible is panel-dpi, not panel_dpi.

The 'else' becomes unnecessary after a 'if () goto xyz;'
With your changes you should now be able to remove both this entry in
platform_of_match:
/* Must be the last entry */
.compatible = "panel-dpi",
.data = &panel_dpi,
and finally this line:
static struct panel_desc panel_dpi;
Otherwise LGTM.
