Errr, this shouldn't go in detect. How about putting this in
bridge_enable instead?

Personally, I don't like doing work in a conditional since you're
throwing the return code away. Could you break this out into:

ret = drm_panel_prepare(dp->plat_data->panel);
if (ret)
  DRM_ERROR("failed to setup the panel ret=%d\n", ret);

Same comment here, please break this out into separate statements for
better readability/logging.
