Hi Sam,

Thanks for your quick review, and sorry for the error in my patch.
I thought my toolchain was properly configured, but it wasn't and
I missed an include:

  #include <drm/drm_bridge.h>
 +#include <drm/drm_of.h>
  #include <drm/drm_panel.h>

I apologize for the mistake.

I'm getting started in the DRM subsystem, so I might have overlooked
a function, but I think that in this case, since we need to store the
panel in "out->panel" we can not use "devm_drm_of_get_bridge".

"devm_drm_of_get_bridge" returns the bridge and I didn't find a way
to access the panel from it... But as I mentioned, I probably
overlooked the required function or pointer.

Thanks again for your review,
Jose
