drm/panel: novatek-nt36536: Fix panel double-remove on attach failure

Browse source

The DSI attach error path calls drm_panel_remove() by hand even though
the panel was registered with devm_drm_panel_add(), which already
arranges for drm_panel_remove() to run on driver detach. When
mipi_dsi_attach() fails the panel is therefore removed twice: once
directly and once again while devres unwinds.

drm_panel_add() takes a reference and drm_panel_remove() drops one, so
the extra removal releases the last reference early and frees the panel
container. The put registered by devm_drm_panel_alloc() then operates on
freed memory, resulting in a use-after-free and a reference-count
underflow when a DSI host rejects the requested configuration during
probe.

Drop the manual drm_panel_remove() and let the managed cleanup handle
it, matching the other dual-DSI panel drivers.
