[PATCH next] drm/panel: himax-hx83121a: Fix NULL vs IS_ERR() check in probe()

From: Dan Carpenter

Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 06:18:32 EST


The devm_drm_panel_alloc() function never returns NULL, it returns error
pointers on failure.

Fixes: a7c61963b727 ("drm/panel: Add Himax HX83121A panel driver")
