Patch Review
**Correctness: Good.** The fix changes:
```c
- if (!ctx)
- return -ENOMEM;
+ if (IS_ERR(ctx))
+ return PTR_ERR(ctx);
```
This is correct. The `devm_drm_panel_alloc()` header documentation at `include/drm/drm_panel.h:316` explicitly states it returns `ERR_PTR on failure`, never `NULL`. Using `IS_ERR()` / `PTR_ERR()` is the proper pattern, and is consistent with all other error checks in the same probe function (lines 609, 635, 650 all use `IS_ERR()`).
**Fixes tag:** The `Fixes:` tag referencing `a7c61963b727 ("drm/panel: Add Himax HX83121A panel driver")` is appropriate since the bug was introduced with the original driver addition.
**No issues found.** Clean, minimal, correct fix.
