[PATCH] drm/panthor: return PTR_ERR() from devm_drm_dev_alloc()

From: Osama Abdelkader

Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 10:20:14 EST


devm_drm_dev_alloc() returns an ERR_PTR() on failure, but panthor_probe()
always converts that failure to -ENOMEM. Preserve the actual error code
returned by the DRM core instead.
