Explaining in your commit log why you think it's a good idea to put it
there would be really nice. In particular, it looks super odd to me that
you would put the panel reference in attach.

Also, your patch doesn't work, and you have a reference inbalance. You
have one taken by the panel driver, put in remove. You have one in
drm_panel_add, put in drm_panel_remove. Which reference do you put here?

This applies to your other patches too.
