[PATCH v2 02/16] drm/panel: get the panel returned by of_drm_find_panel()

[Anusha Srivatsa]

of_drm_find_panel() returns a panel pointer that the caller
holds. With refcounting in place, increment the refcount
of the panel that is returned. This reference has to be put()
by the caller.
Document the behaviour expected from all callers of this
API.
