drm/panel: simple: restore connector_type fallback

commit 9380dc33cd6ae4a6857818fcefce31cf716f3fae upstream.

The switch from devm_kzalloc() + drm_panel_init() to
devm_drm_panel_alloc() introduced a regression.

Several panel descriptors do not set connector_type. For those panels,
panel_simple_probe() used to compute a connector type (currently DPI as a
fallback) and pass that value to drm_panel_init(). After the conversion
to devm_drm_panel_alloc(), the call unconditionally used
desc->connector_type instead, ignoring the computed fallback and
potentially passing DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_Unknown, which
drm_panel_bridge_add() does not allow.

Move the connector_type validation / fallback logic before the
devm_drm_panel_alloc() call and pass the computed connector_type to
devm_drm_panel_alloc(), so panels without an explicit connector_type
once again get the DPI default.
