The matching API for i2c_add_device is i2c_del_device.
And i2c_unregister_device is a matching API for i2c_new_device.

i2c_del_device (a call present in picodlp_exit) would call i2c_remove and then i2c_remove has a call to i2c_unregister_device which would unregister the i2c_device.

So panel_remove should also have a call to i2c_unregister_device.
This would solve the problem.
