I have a quick question here. So devm_of_find_backlight automatically
does a put_device on detachment of the driver. However in this case,
put_device is called when panel_add is not successful (i.e when it
returns a negative value here). So is devm's release mechanism still
invoked here ?

	err = drm_panel_add(&innolux->base);
	if (err < 0)
		goto put_backlight;

	return 0;

	put_backlight:
		put_device(&innolux->backlight->dev);
	return err;

If so then I should change this to 
	err = drm_panel_add(&innolux->base)
	return err;

Thanks and regards,
