drm/panel: panel-simple: make panel_dpi_probe return a panel_desc
If the panel-simple driver is probed from a panel-dpi compatible, the driver will use an empty panel_desc structure as a descriminant. It will then allocate and fill another panel_desc as part of its probe. However, that allocation needs to happen after the panel_simple structure has been allocated, since panel_dpi_probe(), the function doing the panel_desc allocation and initialization, takes a panel_simple pointer as an argument. This pointer is used to fill the panel_simple->desc pointer that is still initialized with the empty panel_desc when panel_dpi_probe() is called. Since commit de04bb00 ("drm/panel/panel-simple: Use the new allocation in place of devm_kzalloc()"), we will need the panel connector type found in panel_desc to allocate panel_simple. This creates a circular dependency where we need panel_desc to create panel_simple, and need panel_simple to create panel_desc. Let's break that dependency by making panel_dpi_probe simply return the panel_desc it initialized and move the panel_simple->desc assignment to the caller. This will not fix the breaking commit entirely, but will move us towards the right direction.
