Will do, thank you for the hint

I am quoting from https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg318602.html :
"I know it was there already, but this seems a bit unusual for the
minimal gain of having a printout in the very unlikely case the
gpiod_get() operations fails. I would just return PTR_ERR()."
I am OK with reinstating it, just let me know what you want me to do here.

Things break when the panel doesn't define connector_type, leading to the below
check from devm_drm_panel_bridge_add:
if (WARN_ON(panel->connector_type == DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown))
return NULL;
Please advise on the best course of action here.
