[PATCH v4 1/6] drm/panel: Use managed helpers in BOE panels

From: Osama Abdelkader

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 10:32:01 EST


Use the managed MIPI DSI attach and panel add helpers in BOE panel drivers
and drop the corresponding manual detach and panel remove calls from
remove paths.

Suggested-by: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

v4:
- use devm_drm_panel_add instead of drm_panel_add.
