Simple steps:
 - forget/ignore anything you know about the driver for a moment.
 - note: existing DRM interfaces cannot be changed.
 - teardown path(s) should _not_ return prematurely. be that within
the function itself or any of the functions that it uses.

Now put the above into practise:
 - jdi_panel_unprepare, should _not_ return if jdi_panel_off fails.
 - similarly, _everything_ in jdi_panel_off should be executed, hence
one can drop the return type all together.
 - bonus points for inlining the {2,4} line helpers
jdi_panel_{on,off}. don't bother with this if it makes things too
complex/confusing from your POV.

If the above is still ambiguous, just copy/pasta from panel-sharp-lq101r1sx01.c.
