Hi Doug,

panel->no_hpd = of_property_read_bool(dev->of_node, "no-hpd");
if (!panel->no_hpd) {
@@ -708,6 +712,8 @@ static int panel_simple_probe(struct device *dev,
const struct panel_desc *desc)

if (!panel->ddc)
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
+ } else if (aux) {
+ panel->ddc = &aux->ddc;
}

In panel_simple_probe(), the put_device(&panel->ddc->dev) call is causing issue when the aux->ddc is used to assign panel->ddc
It works well when "ddc-i2c-bus" is used to assign panel->ddc

static int panel_simple_probe(...)
{
...

free_ddc:
if (panel->ddc)
put_device(&panel->ddc->dev);

return err;
}
